Meet the Administrative Team

Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!

My name is Tyler Rush, and I’m proud to serve our students, families, and staff as Principal of Hamilton Elementary School. I consider myself lucky to have spent the majority of my 17 year career in education as a Ranger. As an elementary classroom teacher, I taught for 8 years including six years at Hamilton Elementary as a 3rd grade language arts teacher. I then transitioned into the assistant principal role for six years, eventually taking an opportunity with another central Ohio district as an elementary principal for two years. However, when the opportunity presented itself to return back to Hamilton Local in 2023, I knew it was time to come home. 

I am a proud graduate of Ohio Dominican University and Ohio University, hold a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education, masters degree in educational administration, and keep teacher, principal, and superintendent licensures. 

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife of 18 years, Alice, and my second grade daughter Morgan. Being a father has given me a whole different perspective to the work we do here at Hamilton Elementary. 

I am incredibly excited to see what our students can achieve this year and beyond. Our staff is prepared to support our students in all areas, and we look forward to partnering with you to help your child achieve each and every day.

Hello Hamilton Rangers! 

I’m thrilled to join the Hamilton Elementary family as your new Assistant Principal. I began my career as an Intervention Specialist, serving students from kindergarten all the way through 12th grade during my eight years, before stepping into school leadership as an Assistant Principal at the high school level, and now K-3.

Education has always been my passion, and I’m deeply committed to creating a supportive, encouraging environment where every student can thrive. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Special Education from The Ohio State University, and my Master’s Degree from Ashland University in both Curriculum Design and Educational Leadership. 

Originally from sunny Florida, I now call Ohio home, where I live with my three amazing boys (ages 14, 13, and 11) who keep me busy and inspired every day.

Hamilton is a truly special place, and I’m humbled and honored to be part of this incredible school community. I can’t wait to partner with our students, staff, and families to make this year full of learning, growth, and joy.
