From the Principal

June 25, 2025

Dear Hazel Park Families and Community Members,

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of Hazel Park High School. It is a privilege to lead a school community known for its dedication to academic excellence, student growth, and strong community partnerships.

With over 29 years in education, including roles as both elementary and middle school teacher, Dean of Students, and HS Assistant Principal, I bring a deep commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. My leadership philosophy centers on collaboration, transparency, and a relentless focus on student success, both in and out of the classroom.

My goal is to build upon and continue the existing culture of excellence and achievement, and to work collaboratively with our exceptional staff to provide an enriching educational experience for all students. I believe in fostering a positive and inclusive school culture that celebrates student success in all areas, promotes positive citizenship, and values the unique talents and contributions of every individual.

I firmly believe that open communication and collaboration are essential to student success. I encourage parents and guardians to actively engage in their child’s education and participate in the vibrant school community at Hazel Park High School. Throughout the school year, you can expect regular updates on important events, academic achievements, and extracurricular activities through newsletters, emails, and updates on our school website. I also encourage you to attend school activities and functions, as your involvement is vital to the success of our students.

I am truly excited to take on this new role at Hazel Park High School and continue building on relationships with each and every one of our students and families. Please feel free to reach out to me at 248-658-5100 or [email protected] if you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to introduce yourself.  Thank you for the warm welcome! I am truly proud to be part of this incredible community! I will be out for summer recess beginning June 26, 2025, and will return to school Aug. 4, 2025. If you need anything, please feel free to contact Dr. Amy Wilcox at [email protected].  

I look forward to the start of the 2025-26 school year. GO VIKINGS!
