In the corner of the lobby, behind a cubicle wall, is an office, messy with evidence of a swift-move in and hefty workload. Behind the desk sits a lady with a nice smile who is always willing to help. This is the new assistant principal, Amy Slabaugh. <\/p>\n<p>Slabaugh is an exceptionally diverse addition to the DHS administration. Going to school at Central Michigan University and earning a Master\u2019s degree, her experiences have stretched from an elementary school counselor at Siebert Elementary to a sixth grade science and English teacher at Jefferson Middle School. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed learning,\u201d Slabaugh said. \u201cIt [teaching] always seemed like a natural choice for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t her first job in an assistant principal position, as she was one at Central Middle School just before coming to DHS. She hasn\u2019t decided to specialize in a certain area and has moved positions very frequently, although she does miss elementary counseling. Change and new experiences are something she enjoys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m flexible and welcome change and challenges,\u201d she said. \u201cNew things are exciting for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slabaugh has had the opportunity to work with students across the entire K-12 school spectrum, but elected to come to DHS because she has mostly worked at the elementary and middle school levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It was an] opportunity to work with older students,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, she is going for an administrative certificate at Saginaw Valley State University. <\/p>\n<p>Slabaugh says all her experiences are great and has had so many memories she couldn\u2019t decide what her favorite moment was. The rationale she gave was that she simply loved the variety of experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve liked everything I\u2019ve done,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>That includes her short time spent at DHS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people here are welcoming and are great,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s not hard to catch the Charger Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slabaugh took over for Ben Cronkright, who became the principal at Carpenter elementary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former elementary school counselor and middle school teacher fills administrative void left by the departure of Ben Cronkright<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[35,41,34],"class_list":["post-1392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-3feature","tag-dow-high-news","tag-feature-stories","tag-news-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
