Superintendent's Office

Dear Waverly Community Schools Families,

Greetings!  My name is Glenn Mitcham, and I am so excited to start my tenure this week as Waverly Community Schools (WCS) new Superintendent. I come to you from just down the road in East Lansing where, for the last 8 years, I have served as the Deputy Superintendent in East Lansing Public Schools. Before that, I was a middle school principal, a high school assistant principal and a high school counselor in the Grand Rapids area.

I am so excited to be here in Waverly. Throughout my preparation to apply for this job, the interview process and now, my first two days on the job, I have been so impressed with this close knit, hardworking, pro-education community. I count it a privilege to join you in making Waverly Community Schools a destination district that is known for:

• A safe, caring and equitable learning environment
• Rigorous curriculum
• Quality instruction
• Respect for diversity in partnership with families and our entire community

I look forward to meeting many of you – you will see me at many WCS events, as I seek to get to know our people. Thank you for all you do to support our students – your support, guidance and care make all the difference.

Sincerely,

Glenn Mitcham, Superintendent

Waverly Community Schools
