Once again, August is upon us, and teachers, students, and parents alike are gearing toward the coming school year. As we start this new school year, we all look forward to moving closer and closer to the normalcy of pre-pandemic education.  It is refreshing to see and feel the excitement budding on campus as we build to the 2022-2023 school year.  More and more students are being seen in the buildings and on the grounds, preparing for summer academic events, attending camps, or getting ready for the athletic competitions in the fall.  More and more teachers are working to decorate their classrooms to fill them with color and energy to welcome new students. The custodial team has been working tirelessly to get the buildings and grounds in top condition for the coming year. 

I would like to take a moment to personally welcome those of you who are new to our district.  Welcome to the Carmichaels family! This will be a wonderful start to an educational journey that I hope you find warm and inviting. We want to ensure that your children receive the very best education that can be offered within a caring and trusting atmosphere.

I continue to urge our current students to relentlessly push the limits of your educational journey.  Your education is something that will take you far in life. This year, and in the years to come, we want to foster your passions, and build on your experiences to help you see success as you leave our buildings to venture into the world.  Always remember to be kind and respectful to your peers and teachers as we work to expand your horizon.

To our seniors, take time to enjoy your last days here at Carmichaels.  This year will fly by for you.  Always remember that our students look up to you for your leadership.  Be a role model for our children to follow.  As you work towards careers, or higher education, please know that we are here for you, and that we truly care for you.  In no time at all, you will be walking across that stage, moving on to that next moment in your life journey.

I hope that you enjoy the remaining days of your summer.  I hope that this time has allowed you to rest and energize yourself for the coming year.  Rest assured that we are ready to welcome you all back, and begin to work to push the limits of this amazing school district.

Carmichaels has always shown the type of resiliency to face any challenge head on, and use that resilient nature to learn and be better than ever.  Let us take what we have learned over the course of these last few years, and use those experiences to make our district the best that it can be.  I truly hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer.  Enjoy your time with family and friends.  We look forward to seeing you soon.

Always Remember… “Once a Mike, Always a Mike!”
