Superintendent's Welcome

Dear Hazel Park Schools Family,

First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Griff Mills, and I will be serving as Hazel Park Schools’ interim superintendent. It’s my privilege to greet you at the start of what I know will be a year filled with growth, learning, and community.

While I am new to this position, I am not new to my commitment to our students, staff, and families. It’s a commitment I take seriously and am honored to carry forward during this transition period.

I would like to take this moment to tell you what I will be focusing on as Hazel Park Schools’ Interim Superintendent:

>> Maintain open, honest communication with families and staff.

>> Support our teachers and staff in helping continue to provide an excellent educational experience.

>> Ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all of our families in every one of our schools.

>> Provide steady, thoughtful leadership.

With the teachers and staff we have in place, I am confident we will build on the strong foundation this district has established. I am dedicated to ensuring continuity and stability as we move forward together.

If you have questions, concerns, or ideas, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at [email protected] or by calling 248.658.5221. My door, and inbox, are always open. 

Thank you for entrusting us with your student’s education. I look forward to meeting many of you as we build towards a successful year ahead.

Respectfully,

Griff Mills, Ed.S.
Interim Superintendent
Hazel Park Schools
