The Southwestern Central School Board has approved the appointment of Katie Miley as the district’s new middle school principal.
Miley succeeds Greg Lauer, who served as principal of Southwestern Middle School for the past two years.
Miley brings 17 years of experience as a chemistry teacher, the last six at Southwestern High School. She holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from SUNY Fredonia, a master’s degree in adolescent education from St. Bonaventure University, and is completing her leadership studies at Fredonia.
As she begins her new role, Miley said one of her top priorities will be building strong relationships with students, staff, families, and the community. She also emphasized her commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment where every student can thrive while expanding opportunities for family and community involvement. Miley said those relationships will be built on a foundation of clear communication and transparency.
