Middletown USD Community:

As excited as I was to accept the position and start serving as superintendent in Middletown, I am only happier about this opportunity now that I have served in the position for a little while.  I have gotten to meet many of you as I have been out and about at events, games, performances, meetings and field trips.  I have seen our staff and students in action as I have visited campuses and classrooms.  There are lots of great things happening in Middletown and I am delighted to be a part of all of it. 

As is true of every organization, we have room for improvement.  Our district is coming out of several years of unsettled leadership.  Middletown students, staff and families have rallied together to maintain a focus on student achievement and safety through this troubled period.  As a community, we are working to leave the turmoil behind and focus on the future.  As a district, we are refreshing our policies and procedures.  At our school sites, principals are working with teachers to refine our instructional practice.  As superintendent, I commit to supporting all of these efforts. 

We are trying our best, but we will never be perfect.  If something seems wrong to you, we encourage you to address your concern as close as possible to the source.  This will probably mean working with your child’s teacher or principal.  I have confidence in all of our principals, but if your child’s principal is not able to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, then please reach out to me.  We will work together to address whatever is wrong.

My wife and I are grateful for the welcome we have received in Middletown.  We live here now and are doing all we can to be part of the community.  Please join with us in supporting the amazing students and staff of Middletown Unified School District.

Go Mustangs, Labradors, Broncos, Colts, Coyotes & Cougars!
