We have some good news to report on the condition of Parkersburg South High School Principal Tom Eschbacher.

Wood County School Spokesperson Sue Woodward says, Mr. Eschbacher is out of surgery and responsive.

He was able to recite his ABC's during his four hour brain surgery to remove a tumor.

Woodward says the tumor did contain some cancer cells, but doctors were able to contain it.

Mr. Eschbacher is now in intensive care, where he will be for the next couple of days.
