Who is the human behind Santa? 

Glen Stacho has always worked with children and families.  He began as a teenager working with young children and developmentally disabled children and adults when he was a student teacher in dance classes at O’Connor Dance Studio in Parma.  From there, he went on to become an elementary school teacher and continued to teach dance, as well.  As his family grew, having 4 children with his wife of 34 years (whose maiden name just happens to be Santa), he advanced to become an elementary school Principal.  As Principal, he was recognized and honored in Washington D.C. in 2015 as The National Distinguished Principal. Now, as a retired public school educator, he spends his days substitute teaching, teaching dance, spending time with his grandchildren, and bringing joy to families across the Greater Cleveland area as Santa!
