Hello, I'm Eric Koch, principal at Diley Middle School.

Welcome to Diley Middle School, where educational excellence and student growth are not just words, but the guiding principles at the heart of everything we do. With a nurturing atmosphere, a collaborative mindset, and a dedicated staff, we are committed to inspiring students to reach their fullest potential—both academically and personally.

I've proudly served this district since 1999, and it's been a privilege to grow alongside this incredible community. As a husband and father of children attending Pickerington Schools, and with my wife working at Fairfield Elementary, my family and I are deeply rooted in the experiences we help create here.

At Diley Middle School, we believe in working with students, families, and the broader community to build a strong foundation for success. Whether through engaging in classroom activities, extracurricular opportunities, or simply connecting, we're on a shared journey of achievement and discovery, and we're excited to have you as part of our community.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. I am filled with anticipation and look forward to an incredible school year together!
