Dear Schumacher Family,

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! It brings me great joy to welcome you to an exciting school year!  My name is Christopher Haynes and I will be your new principal this school year. I am returning to the district after serving as Dean of Students at Buchtel, Firestone, and Litchfield.  Over the course of time, I have served as a classroom teacher, assessment coordinator, and school principal. I am dedicated to the success of you and the students at Schumacher.

This year promises to hold new opportunities for us to enhance the instructional core and make a difference in student achievement as well as student social and emotional strength. My vision entails all of us working together on a regular basis in order to increase student achievement and increase our awareness of social-emotional issues.  In order to turn our school around, it will take all us working together in doing things that we have not done before. The level of commitment to success and accountability will be the key to turning our school around. We have the people and the tools to do it. I believe in each and every one of you and what you can do to enhance the lives of all of our children!
