The Middletown School Committee has appointed Gerald Haas as the new principal of Gaudet Middle School. He will take over the position on Sept. 3.
Haas, a 2013 graduate of Middletown High School, has served as a mathematics teacher at Middletown High School. He began working at Gaudet in 2018.
“Entering this role is honestly a dream come true for me and I am very eager to get started,” Haas said. “I am a graduate of Middletown Public Schools and truly had a great school experience from kindergarten all the way through graduation. There are so many Middletown teachers who had a positive impact on my life.
“I knew from the time I was a student at Middletown High School that I wanted to become a teacher and then eventually a principal in Middletown. I have always felt the best way to give back to the community was to help provide the same great school experience to the Middletown students who came after me.”
Haas has been praised for his innovative teaching methods and his commitment to collaboration with students, parents, and colleagues. He is also known for his sense of humor and dedication to making sure that all students have the support they need.
Haas said that he is most excited to collaborate with the students, teachers, and parents-guardians at Gaudet to help provide our students with the best educational experience possible. “This is an amazing school community that I consider myself very fortunate to join as principal,” he said.
He is also looking forward to working with the Middletown school system as a whole and helping to build a strong and vibrant community.
“The future is very bright both for Gaudet Middle School and the Middletown school system as a whole,” Haas said. “I am very excited about the new middle-high school on the horizon and the opportunities that will present for our community. I believe this new school environment will help provide an even stronger educational experience for our students. This is a very exciting time for the Middletown school system, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.”
