๐ฃ It's time to get to know our new staff for this upcoming school year!๐ฃ
We are starting with our new leader in the 7-12th Principal position. Mr. Bliss is excited to start working with the students and staff. Mr. Bliss moved to Akron with his wife and 2 kids that will also work at and attend Akron-Westfield. We are excited to have him and his family as a part of our community.
1. What is your favorite thing about your position as principal?
Getting to know the students, staff, and community.
2. What are some of your hobbies, interests, fun facts outside of working at the school?
I like to play bass guitar in my band, ride my Harley-Davidson, and spend time with my family.
3. What inspired you to pursue a career in education?
I had some really great teachers and coaches that really inspired me to โcarry that torchโ and give back to help students reach their full potential.
4. What excites you most about joining the Akron-Westfield family as our 7-12 principal?
I really like the fact that I get to know the students of the district extremely well. We are a small enough district that my hope is that before long, I will know everyoneโs name in the building. That is important to me, as I am a relationship based person.
5. What is one of your favorite quotes?
"You only get out what you put in."
