Posted on 07/16/2025
The South Park School District Board of Directors unanimously approved the hiring of Mrs. Katelyn Vogel as the new assistant principal at South Park Elementary Center at a special meeting on Thursday, July 10. Vogel, a South Park resident, brings more than 15 years of K-12 experience – with nearly 10 years of experience as a school administrator – to the South Park School District.
Vogel comes to the South Park School District from the Bethlehem-Center School District in southern Washington County. She most recently served as the district’s director of student support. At Beth-Center, Vogel also served as an administrator for sixth through eighth grades. Vogel worked for more than a decade at the South Allegheny School District, serving in a number of classroom and administrator roles in the district. She started at South Allegheny as a health/physical education teacher before becoming an assistant principal and administrator at the elementary and middle school levels.
Vogel graduated from South Park High School in 2006 and received the Future Teacher Award from the South Park Education Association her senior year. She earned her bachelor’s degree of science in health and physical education with a minor in dance from Slippery Rock University in 2010. She also holds a master’s degree in school administration from California University of Pennsylvania.
Vogel will begin her role at South Park in late-July. She replaces Mr. TJ Trozzi who left the South Park School District in June to pursue an opportunity in a school district closer to his home.
