Kathleen Walsh - President

Current term of office:  Jan. 1, 2024 – Dec. 31, 2027

Kathleen (Kathy) Walsh

I have lived in the Groveport Madison school district for over 32 years, moving into my grandparent's homestead in Madison Township in 1992. During the summers as a child, I worked with my grandparent planting crops and helping with the animals. 

I have three children and seven grandchildren. I was an active parent-volunteer at my children's schools by coaching, assistant coaching, hosting multiple fundraisers, in-class tutoring, and librarian assistant. As a grandparent, I enjoy walking my grandchildren to school (this is what I miss most during Covid-19). 

In my private sector life, I am the owner of The Farm on Winchester Pike, LLC, and co-owner of Walsh Electric, Inc., where I engage in farming/ranching, forest management, pasture management, animal husbandry, business management, estimating, and project management. 

I served my country in the U.S. Army. I am Journeyman Typographer; OSHA certified in Construction Safety and Health; a Certified Master Gardener by OSU. I love working with my herding dogs, training my goats, hiking, and enjoying the company of family and friends while having bonfires in the backyard.

I was elected to the Groveport Madison Board of Education in 2019, taking my seat in January 2020. I appreciated the public's vote and in return, I am committed to making evidence-based decisions, along with input from our community, for our district. I welcome the community and all Cruisers' input on every district-related subject. Characteristics of my decision-making process include transparency, inclusiveness (community participation), integrity, and openness, with a goal for optimal outcomes.
