Ronald Leach

I was privileged to grow up in a Christian family, trusting and following Jesus, early. God called me into teaching and athletics where I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Bob Jones University in Health and Physical Education and a Master of Science degree in Sport Education at Ashland University. I started teaching and coaching at Northside in 1979, transitioned to The Columbus Academy in 2004, and rejoined Northside in 2021. Ella, my wife, works as an executive administrative assistant at Chase Bank. We have two sons, Jeremy (Jade), who is a nurse in Anchorage and Jordan (Jess), who is an engineer in Connecticut, and the parents of our 7 grandchildren. Both Jeremy and Jordan attended Northside from K-12 and completed their education at Liberty and Cedarville University. It is a privilege to serve as the Director of Athletics, where I can encourage student athletic development.
