Dear Middletown School Community,

I am honored to formally introduce myself as Executive Principal of Middletown High School. With deep roots in this esteemed institution, I am proud to say that I am a graduate of this very school. Over the past 20 years, I have dedicated my career to serving the Middletown community in various capacities, including as a Global Studies teacher, Football Coach, Social Studies Department Chair, Instructional Leader of Humanities, and most recently, Associate Principal.

Throughout my journey, I have held steadfast to my core values, which form the foundation of my educational philosophy. Academic excellence lies at the heart of everything we do at Middletown High School. We strive to provide our scholars with the highest quality education, empowering them to reach their full potential and become lifelong learners.

As the Executive Principal, my focus is on fostering a safe, scholar-first and inclusive learning environment. We believe that every student has unique talents, abilities, and aspirations. By tailoring our approach to meet their individual needs, we ensure that each scholar receives the support and guidance necessary for their personal and academic growth. Moreover, we are committed to continuing to provide rich opportunities for our scholars. We aim to provide a well-rounded education that prepares our scholars for success in an ever-changing world, whether it be through extracurricular activities, community engagement, or innovative programs.

I take great pride in our rich traditions and the strong sense of pride that permeates our community. I plan to honor our past while embracing the future, instilling a culture of Middie pride that fosters unity, resilience, inclusivity and a deep sense of belonging. I am humbled to be a part of this remarkable educational institution and to work alongside dedicated educators, staff, and families who share our vision for excellence. Together, we will continue to nurture a supportive environment where every student can thrive, achieve their dreams and make their own legacy. 

Thank you for allowing me to formally introduce myself, and I look forward to the incredible journey ahead as we shape the future of Middletown High School.

MIDDIE PRIDE!

William Donohue
