I’m honored to serve as the principal of Sullivan High School. As an educator I am passionate about creating a school environment where students feel supported while being challenged to reach their full potential. I believe in the power of strong relationships, clear communication, and a shared commitment to excellence.

My wife, Megan, and I have four amazing kids – Ronan, Connor, Beau, and Hadley. Our family life is full of baseball tournaments and travel adventures, and we cherish the time we spend together both at home and on the road.

I’m truly excited to be part of the Sullivan community and look forward to working alongside our students, families, and staff to continue the proud tradition of Golden Arrow excellence.

I'm thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of our middle school. I’ve proudly dedicated 30 years to education, working in various roles—from special education teacher to assistant principal—and most recently serving as principal with Vigo County schools, including Booker T. Washington Alternative School and the Vigo Virtual Success Academy.

My husband and I have a wonderful blended family of five children between us, and we’re also proud pet parents to three energetic dogs. When I’m not at school, I absolutely love being outdoors—whether camping or just enjoying nature. I’m also an avid reader, enjoy watching movies, and cherish spending quality time with family.

Mr. Smith is an assistant principal dedicated to supporting students and teachers with compassion, clarity, and genuine understanding. With a background deeply rooted in special education and thoughtful behavior support, he prioritizes creating positive and structured learning environments where every student feels valued. Mr. Smith believes leadership is about connection and partnership, helping educators navigate challenges with practical strategies and calm guidance. Above all, he is committed to fostering a school culture grounded in respect, trust, and growth, ensuring that everyone who walks through the doors feels seen and supported

As we gear up for a great school year, the Southwest School Corporation has released the official 2025–2026 School Supply Lists for all students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. These lists are designed to ensure students are prepared and equipped with the tools they need to succeed from day one.

Each list was created in collaboration with teachers to reflect the specific needs of each grade level. From crayons and glue sticks in Kindergarten to calculators and composition notebooks in Middle School, the items help support classroom learning and organization.

Attached is a notification letter from Southwest School Corporation detailing the safety drills that will be conducted throughout the school year. These drills are essential for ensuring the safety and preparedness of our students and staff in various emergency situations, including fire, lockdowns, and active assailant scenarios.

The letter outlines the specific types of drills we will practice, including the RUN-HIDE-FIGHT procedures, which are designed to enhance our emergency response. It also highlights our compliance with state legislation regarding intruder and active assailant drills, which will take place within the first 90 days of the school year.

We encourage you to read the document thoroughly and reach out to your school administrator if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued support in keeping our learning environment safe.

The Southwest School Corporation recently held its annual "Stuff the Bus" event, a community-driven initiative aimed at collecting essential school supplies for local students in need. The event took place at multiple locations, where community members generously donated items such as backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and other necessary school supplies.

The "Stuff the Bus" event not only helps to equip students for a successful school year but also highlights the importance of community collaboration. Supplies collected will be distributed to students throughout the district, ensuring that everyone has access to the tools they need for academic achievement.

If any families are in need of assistance related to back-to-school supplies, please reach out to your child's school.

The Southwest School Corporation appreciates the unwavering support from the community and encourages continued involvement in future events to help students thrive.

To ensure a safe and efficient dismissal process, please review the updated student pick-up procedures for Grades 2–5. Detailed instructions are provided for both the K–1 and 2–5 grade levels, including specific traffic flow and designated pick-up locations. Your cooperation helps us maintain a secure and smooth experience for all students and families.
