Colstrip Welcomes New Middle School Principal for 2016-2017

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

The Colstrip School Board put the final stamp of approval on the hire of next year's middle school principal at Frank Brattin at their April 11, 2016 Board Meeting. Interviews were held March 14, 2016 by three panels: FBMS Staff Panel, CPS Administrative Panel and the Superintendent. Pax Haslem was the recommended candidate for the job.

I am very excited about what Mr. Haslem has to offer our district. He is a certified administrator who will be in is first year as a principal. He is very enthusiastic and has experience with some of the key initiatives that our district is currently undertaking.

Mr. Haslem is a very likable individual that has a plethora of experience in middle school and serving at-risk students. I believe him to be a "no-nonsense" type of leader that is willing to embrace new ideas with the greater organization in mind.

We would like to welcome Mr. Haslem and his two daughters to our district and schools. We have high expectations that he will help our students MAKE DUST!

Congratulations Mr. Haslem! Welcome to Colstrip, Montana!

GO COLTS! GO FILLIES! 

MAKE DUST OR EAT DUST!

"Get out in front and stay there!"
