WL-S recent graduate Abbie Thoman, Mr. Andy McGill, Dr. Greg Johnson among leaders presenting at Ohio School Safety Summit
West Liberty-Salem recent graduate Abbie Thoman attended the Ohio School Safety Summit in Sandusky as a member of the Ohio Student Safety Advisory Council, where she presented her capstone project, Beyond the Screen: The Awareness Advantage, to State and school safety leaders from across Ohio.
The student-led Ohio Student Safety Advisory Council operates under the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the Ohio School Safety Center. Council members work together to identify school safety concerns and develop innovative solutions through student engagement, peer education, and advocacy efforts focused on creating safe, supportive learning environments.
As part of her work on the Council, Abbie developed Beyond the Screen: The Awareness Advantage, a presentation designed to educate students about the realities of online sextortion, the dangers associated with online interactions, and the lasting implications these situations can have on young people and their families. Earlier this spring, Abbie shared the presentation with her fellow West Liberty-Salem students. High School Principal Dr. Greg Johnson also assisted in presenting portions of the program to male students, helping ensure the important message reached all student audiences.
The Ohio School Safety Summit, held at the Kalahari Convention Center, provided Abbie with the opportunity to collaborate with fellow Advisory Council members, participate in roundtable discussions, and share experiences and ideas with student leaders from across Ohio. Throughout her term, Abbie has represented West Liberty-Salem while working to promote awareness, student well-being, and positive school culture.
West Liberty-Salem was also represented at the Summit by Middle School Principal Andy McGill and High School Principal Dr. Greg Johnson, who presented on behalf of the Principals Recovery Network. Their session, Takeaways from Tragedy: Applications for Leadership Before, During, and After School Violence, focused on lessons learned through crisis response and emphasized the importance of building strong relationships both within and outside of a school community. The presentation highlighted how those relationships can strengthen communication, support systems, and recovery efforts before, during, and after difficult situations.
As founding members of the PRN, Dr. Johnson and Mr. McGill are among nation’s leaders who have faced tragedy and crisis in their district. Through their efforts they have established a guide to assist other districts who share similar experiences as a navigation tool for recovery.
On the final day of the Summit Thoman, McGill and Johnson were joined by West Liberty-Salem’s next Student Advisory Council member, Ellery Wygal. West Liberty-Salem is proud of the leadership demonstrated by Abbie, Mr. McGill, and Dr. Johnson as they continue to contribute to important conversations surrounding school safety and student well-being at both the state and local levels.

🎉 Congratulations to Ellery Wygal! 🎉
We are proud to announce that West Liberty-Salem junior Ellery Wygal has been selected as one of only 16 students statewide to serve on the 2026-2027 Ohio Student Safety Advisory Council.
