Dear McGary Middle School Families,

I am excited to introduce myself to you as the new principal of McGary Middle School. It is with great pleasure that I welcome all new and returning families to our wonderful school. I assure you that you are going to have a great year at McGary!

Students will have a lot to look forward to throughout the school year, including recess, school dances, positive rewards, leadership opportunities, and spirit weeks 

As a former high school teacher and principal, I know the importance of capitalizing on the foundational years of middle school.  As a result, I will work every day to ensure that students have the opportunity to learn the skills they need to be successful beyond middle school.

Along with teachers and staff, I will work to build strong relationships with families, students, and community members. We will focus on creating a positive culture where students feel safe to make mistakes and supported to learn from them.  We will also utilize data driven instructional practices that ensure that all students receive a superior education in a safe and encouraging environment.

I look forward to our first year together learning and growing with our amazing students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and community partners. I am honored to serve as your principal and can’t wait to celebrate your child’s successes throughout the school year.  Please contact me with questions or concerns at [email protected] or 812-476-3035.

Warmest regards,

Kristine Eichholz, Principal
