Hello students, families, and staff of Almont High School, and hello to the Almont community - it’s so nice to meet you! My name is Addison and I am the new Principal at Almont High. I am so excited to be a part of this school and this community. Ever since I was little it was a dream of mine to be a school leader, as I have for the majority of my life understood the profound positive impact education can have on the future and the world at large. I look forward to working together to further enrich and improve the Almont High School experience, as well as build new avenues to offer more opportunities to enliven the Almont community.
When I am not busy at work you can find me hanging out with my lovely wife (Grace) and three awesome children (Rudy, Elliott, and Louis). I also love playing Dungeons & Dragons, watching scary movies, going for walks, reading, writing, and most importantly - participating in or watching the various extracurricular activities at Almont High School!
Although I have experience as a building leader in Chicago, I cannot express how much it means to me to be in my home state of Michigan and making an impact in a place as wonderful as Almont. I see so much potential in Almont, it’s clear this town has a lot to offer and I feel strongly that we can band together as a team to continue to give back to it as well. So please, send me an email or give me a call sometime. You’re even welcome to stop by and see me in person if you’d like. It is always a pleasure to meet with folks who share a passion for education and preparing our young adults for success after high school. I want to make this a truly positive experience that students can reflect on fondly for years to come, and with your help I know we can make that happen.
To that end, I am planning to schedule an in-person Meet & Greet taking place in the High School Auditorium on Tuesday, August 6th from 5-6 PM. This is just a chance to meet me and for me to meet you, as well as ask any questions you might have about me. This could even be a great opportunity to get into some early talks about SY25 initiatives!
Have a great day and I hope to see you on August 6th at 5 PM and if not, I know I’ll see you around!
Sincerely,
Addison Spear (he/him)
Principal | Almont High School
