Carl Krauskopf finished his 30 year teaching career at Northmont High School in 2004. During his tenure at NHS he taught Advanced Placement English and was responsible for the lighting of NHS productions. Most recently NHS performed Les Miserables at State Conference 2003 at Strongsville HS. When Northmont was the host for State Conference 1998, Carl was part of the Northmont faculty who assisted with most phases of the Conference. When NHS sponsor Margie Strader was unable to represent NHS at Board meetings, Carl was in attendance. When Conference was over and Northmont was no longer expected to attend Board meetings, Carl volunteered to serve…and ten years later he is still serving. In the last decade, Carl has staffed the Info Table, and took over the responsibility for Individual Events which today is almost as large as the event at International Festival. He has overseen the creation of new categories which allow Ohio Thespians to compete in categories not even recognized by Home Office. He has willingly attended most area conferences giving a lighting workshop and moderating an Adult Concern workshop. The Board yearly relies on Carl’s spatial ability to develop a workable plan for all of our Conference activities so that everything has a space that is conducive to its needs. In 2003 Carl was elected to the position of Trustee of the Ohio Educational Theatre Association.
