To All of our Families and Community Members,
It is with great joy that I find myself in Clawson Public Schools again! I had the privilege of serving the Clawson school district from 2012 - 2017 as a Clawson Middle School ELA teacher, and as a Clawson High School English and Integrated Studies teacher. While in Clawson previously, I was a member of the School Improvement Team, co-directed the school musical, served as a ninth grade student senate sponsor, and was honored to participate in the Galileo Teacher Leadership Program and Aspiring Principals’ Leadership Academy through Oakland Schools.
Serving as an administrator has been a longtime goal of mine. Prior to becoming the principal of Clawson High School and Middle School, I served as principal of Oakland FlexTech High School, a project-based learning high school in Farmington Hills, MI. I also return to Clawson with 18 cumulative years in education, with experience in teaching all grade levels from 6 - 12 in settings within the greater Houston, Austin, TX and Orlando, FL areas.
In addition to serving as a school leader, one of the most impactful experiences I have had was working for Disney World on the College Program, where I took courses toward my undergraduate degree in Disney Leadership, Hospitality, Management, and the Disney Way. The things I learned from that internship experience have remained with me throughout my adult life, and I will always be grateful for that experience. I am a firm believer in connecting students with experts, experiences, research, and other opportunities to further explore their passions, and I am honored to work in a district that upholds these same values for our students.
I have a lot of love for this district! In addition to serving as an administrator here, my husband Aaron and I have two children enrolled in Clawson Schools via School of Choice. I cannot speak enough about the incredible work the staff does to provide for our families; equally, I could not be more proud to work for a community that is so supportive and involved as the families of Clawson Public Schools are.
I look forward to serving this community for many years to come.
With Clawson Pride,
Kim Olson
