On behalf of the staff at Mount Gleason Middle School, I warmly welcome you to the new school year! Whether you are a new Mount Gleason Mustang or a returning Mustang, we are so excited that you will be a part of our community this year!
I am privileged and honored to serve as your Principal. I am passionate about working with middle school students. Their unique sense of humor, abundance of energy, and passion to learn brings joy to my work!
The middle school years are critical in a child’s growth and development. This is a time when ‘who they are becoming’ is as important as ‘what they are learning’. I love being a part of this journey with them together with you! A growth mindset approach forms the core of my educational philosophy. It is my mission to inspire, support and propel our students to achieve their potential and believe in their ability to deal with the stumbling blocks with confidence! This can only happen in an environment which is safe and supportive.
We, at Mount Gleason, are committed to providing an environment where our students deeply engage in meaningful learning in a school climate that is accepting, caring, and safe. We, at Mount Gleason, are committed to creating and sustaining an innovative learning environment where both students and adults model challenging themselves to seek new and unique learning experiences. We, at Mount Gleason, are committed to empowering student voice and aspirations. We, at Mount Gleason, are committed to building a culture of trust where every community member feels welcomed and valued.
Once again, I am honored to be your child's principal. I look forward to getting to know you and your child, and I will do everything I can to help your child navigate their journey through middle school and prepare them for high school, college, and beyond.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Cheryl M. Minke
