First, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Kara Hanges-Brakhage and I am the proud new principal of New Miami Middle School. 

Many of you know me as Ms. Hanges, since I have been a teacher in the Middle and High School buildings for the last nine years. Although I am not new to the district, I am new to the position of principal.  As a teacher, I have worked to build strong relationships with students and families.

As principal, I will continue to build relationships with families and the community because I believe student success is a partnership.  A partnership between families, teachers, and students; I am committed to working together to ensure the success of our children.

I look forward to the upcoming year and working with you for the success of all our children.
