Mike is passionate about the ability of public education to provide all students with a high-quality education and is proud to be the superintendent of Harwood Unified Union School District. Mike’s goal is to improve classroom experiences for students and teachers and be a champion in the community for public education.
He started his career in 1991 as a middle school and high school social studies teacher in the City of York, Pennsylvania. Following experiences as a high school assistant principal, middle school principal, and assistant superintendent for personnel, he was named Superintendent of Schools for the Penn Manor School District in 2009, a school system serving 5400 students in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
After finishing his educational career in Pennsylvania, Mike was drawn to the Harwood Unified Union School District in central Vermont through his travels in the state, particularly during the time his daughter attended the University of Vermont.
Mike is a member of the Vermont Superintendents Association and currently serves as its representative on the statewide Commission on the Future of Public Education in Vermont.
He is enjoying the opportunity to learn, discover, and help Harwood make the progress the school desires for its students and community.
