A Welcome From Our New Principal

August 2009
Dear Muir Families,

I would like to take this time to introduce myself and share my excitement about my new appointment as the new principal of Muir Middle School. A school with an excellent tradition focused on learning, a commitment to high expectations and collaboration. I intend to continue these successful traditions and practices.

Let me share some information about my educational background and professional experience. After graduating from high school, I attended Eastern Michigan University. While at Eastern, I majored in Biology focusing on a career in education. Once completing my bachelor's, I was hired as an 8th grade middle school science/math teacher with Ypsilanti Public Schools. After two years, I had the opportunity to teach science at Milford High School. As I earned my Masters of Arts in Educational Leadership, I was fortunate to have been selected as an Assistant Principal at Milford High School for the past three years.

Already having the opportunity to work and meet several parents, I look forward to meeting many more. I want to stress my enthusiasm and excitement to be so fortunate to be a part of such a great community and staff. I wish you and your family the best and I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer.

Sincerely,
Kevin M. McKenna
