(KAIR)--A longtime Atchison educator is leaving the local community, accepting a job in the field of education elsewhere in the state.

Dr. Paul Ogle has most recently served in a number of roles at the Riverbend International School, in Atchison, including the position of Headmaster.

According to an April 25 story in The Salina Journal, Ogle, last month, accepted the job as principal for the Southeast of Saline School District.

In that position with USD 306, he'll serve as principal for grades 7 through 12 for the 2018-2019 school year.

According to the newspaper, Ogle applied for the position because he was impressed with the school district.

According to his biography posted on the Riverbend school's website, Ogle served as a science teacher at Atchison High School for 10-years.

He also taught biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, physiology, and microbiology as an adjunct professor for Highland Community College, Barton County Community College, Dodge City Community College, Colby Community College, and Butler County Community College.

He accepted the position as Headmaster of Riverbend International School in April 2014.

A Facebook message sent to Ogle seeking comment on his new position was not immediately returned.
