Dear MAUMS Students and Families,
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. It is with great pleasure and humility that I will be stepping into the role as principal. Since taking over July 1, I have had the opportunity to get to know the building, staff, and teachers. Now I am looking forward to getting to know you and our students.
After spending 23 years in North Carolina as an educator, 21 of which were spent in the classroom at the middle-school level, I am excited to be joining the Bennington and MAU communities and working with all of our stakeholders to make MAUMS the best version of itself. A school will grow and improve if our community works together.
I encourage you to be actively involved as much as you can with your student’s academic and social development.Whether joining our PTSA, attending school events, or simply helping your student with homework, any support you can provide helps our community work toward its common goal. We at the school level will continue to strive and grow all students academically and socially as well so they can reach their full potential.
It is my hope that I can be a resource for you and your students and that we can work together to strengthen our school community. Please do not hesitate to reach out to discuss any topic. I cannot promise that we can always make every change you may wish for, but I can offer you a voice that allows us to address your concerns or problems.
Looking forward to a great school year and a great working relationship,
Michael Kline
Principal
