Rush County got a Shelby County administrator as Curt Chase has accepted a position in Rushville.

The Southwestern superintendent had his resignation approved by the Southwestern School Board.  He’s going to Rushville.

Chase served a decade as the Southwestern Jr. / Sr. HS principal until he replaced Superintendent Dr. Paula Maurer to start the 2020-21 school year.

He says there’s something exciting about going home.

At the same time, it’s bittersweet leaving Southwestern.
