After the school board approved Lash to the board Thursday, he was sworn in by Melinda Kamp, deputy treasurer of the school corporation. His term is 2-1/2 years and will end in December 2022, according to Kamp.
Lash is a TVSC and Huntington University graduate and he farms with his family. Lash said he has lived in the Mentone area all his life with the exception of college.
Lash has been on the county Extension Board and active in Ag Day in Kosciusko County. He also has coached sixth-grade boys basketball.

He said he plans to do that by working with the other members to keep values and morals in the school corporation and is looking to help develop the school corporation’s teaching and administrative staff.
