Dear Parents, Guardians, Students, and Visitors,

Welcome to the home of the Islanders

As I enter my 30th year in education, I am thrilled be the Principal of Middletown High School. My educational journey began in Cranston RI where a number of dedicated educators instilled in me the love of learning, caring, and the ability grow my skill set with every new challenge I encountered. As a first generational college student, there was no script for me to follow. Having teachers that believed in me inspired me to be a teacher as well.

It is here that the sense of community cannot be ignored. To that end, I am honored to lead this dedicated staff and school to high levels of rigor, create academic curiosity and to instill a sense of pride and purpose for all our students. A comprehensive high school ought to offer a variety of options so that students graduate ready for career and college after graduation. Student voice is an important part of this process to ensure that we are capturing the wants and needs of our MHS community as they become ready to be global citizens.

Please know that our staff and school are ready to meet the demands of a high-quality education that includes all voices to be part of the process. Our students deserve the very best from all the adults in their world. We are here to assist in that process.

Please reach out and be an active member of our school community as we continue on a path to academic, civic, and social success. Our focus is to increase Executive Functioning Skills for our students so that when they embark on deep learning, they can do so with Grit and Grace.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Sweet
