Principal’s Message

Becoming the principal at Maiden High School has been one of the greatest opportunities of my life. I am blessed each and every day to see our students grow and succeed while the chance to help students through the struggles and challenges of life is just as rewarding. As the former principal at Maiden Middle School, I have had the privilege of knowing many of these students for several years and am watching them growing into young adults. At MHS I get to work with the very best staff and families . They are who make our school community a true family.
Go Big Blue!
Warm regards,
Brian Hefner
