Rex Germer, Town of Webb Superintendent of Schools
Rex Germer, Building Principal at the Town of Webb School since 2008, was appointed as the new Super-intendent by the Board of Education, effective February 1, 2012.
He will replace Donald Gooley, who retires as Superintendent of the School District on January 31.
Germer was one of three candidate finalists for the position.
“When I got the phone call it really felt great. The (selection) process was long but it was necessary to get a feel for each of the candidates,” Germer said.
Germer, who is a 1990 graduate of the Town of Webb School, said that in his senior year book, he stated that he was going to come back to the area as a doctor.
“That was my plan, but education found me,” he said.
While doing graduate work, he was called upon by a friend to substitute for a fifth grade class. This led to his continuing interest and eventual degree in education.
