About Our Principal

“A native of Peebles, Ohio, a tiny Ohio River farming town, (she is) bright, personable, ambitious, brimming with idealistic energy… She’s a little bit old school and a little bit new school.” - Los Angeles Times, August 18, 2003

A born-and-raised Ohioan and professional communicator, Lauren B. Worley has led change-making initiatives at local, regional and global organizations, accomplishing results that have reshaped public policy and uplifted communities.

At Cincinnati Public Schools, she led communications initiatives to address the crisis of childhood bullying and led the deployment of the district’s three-year strategic plan, resulting in increased positive public sentiment measured by significant levy results. She led the creation of Procter & Gamble's Global Newsroom, and delivered significant business results for the Tampax brand.

During two years as chief of staff to Ohio Lt. Governor Lee Fisher, Lauren led efforts to pass the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit to greenlight hundreds of film and TV projects in Ohio, the Historic Preservation Tax Credit, and reprioritization of $1 billion for advanced energy projects - policies that have driven investments in rural and urban communities across Ohio. 

From 2011 to 2016, Lauren was the Press Secretary and Senior Advisor at NASA, an appointee of President Barack Obama’s Administration. There she led communications initiatives that highlighted President Obama's vision for space exploration. While working for President Obama’s administration, she was an Inaugural Participant of the White House Climate Leadership Workshop and the First-Ever White House Girl Scout Campout.
