Hello WHS Alumni and Friends. I am Nancy McComas Jobe from the graduating class of 1981. I am the newly elected president of the Washington High School Alumni Association. While I have served on the WHSAA Board of Trustees since May of 2018, I am excited to serve in this new capacity.
I am a lifelong resident of Massillon and a graduate of Kent State University (1985, BA) and Case Western Reserve University (1998, MSSA). While I officially retired from a 30-year career working with children and families, I continue to work part time providing mental health services in care facilities. My husband Jim and I have raised two children, both WHS graduates, and are now enjoying our empty nest.
Since May, the Board of Trustees and I have held two strategic planning sessions to develop goals for the next two years. We have formed committees to address moving forward in technology, fundraising, and recruitment/branding. Additional initiatives include updating the bylaws and looking at additional space for archives and meetings. These new committees are in additions to our Scholarship Committee and our Distinguished Citizen Committee. The WHSAA Board of Trustees is a working board. As we move forward in the coming year, we will be looking for board members with specific areas of skill and expertise. As you can see, we have much to accomplish, and the Board and I are committed to recruiting new trustees who will contribute both time and talent.
There is no place quite like Massillon. Our traditions are deep, and our legacy is strong. The WHSAA is committeed to supporting our current students and honoring our past. Please continue to support the WHSAA through a yearly membership, scholarship, or memorial donation.
Thank you and Go Tigers!!
Nancy Jobe, MSSA, LISW ('81)
WHSAA President
