Former Woodbury A.D. Soma resigns from position at Edina

Former Woodbury High School activities director John Soma, a WHS graduate, resigned Monday from the same position at Edina High School.

Soma was placed on administrative leave in August. It's been reported Soma resigned for personal and family reasons. Soma was under investigation by the Edina school district.

He was placed on administrative leave on Aug. 23. The district investigation is now over due to Soma's resignation.

A Woodbury resident since 1980, Soma graduated from WHS in 1996 and, after receiving a degree from St. John’s University, the would-be A.D. taught math at Woodbury from 2000 until 2004, when he moved into the role he held until 2009 - when he took the activities director job at Edina.
