Hello Haigh Parents, Students and Community!
I am excited to be joining the Haigh team and to welcome everyone back to the start of the 2022/23 school year! I hope that this email finds you and your family well and that you have had many opportunities to make some great memories over summer break. While I know that we are starting off the year with some big changes, I am confident that as a team we will continue to meet the high expectations, strong practices and strong relationships that the Haigh community has already accomplished together, and I am excited to continue to support.
While I know that I am a new face in the building, I have been in the district for the past 8 years starting at Woodworth Middle School, as a teacher, and then transitioning to Long Elementary and DPS Virtual K-12 as the acting Assistant Principal for the 2021/22 school year. I was also Principal of Long Elementary’s Summer Program at the end of last year. I am a lifelong Dearborn resident and my family and I are active members of the Dearborn community. With that being said, I cannot begin to express how excited I am to be part of the Haigh team and to be supporting our staff, students, parents and community.
