A Welcome Message from new WHS Principal Mr. Mike Lovenberg

Dear Whitewater High School Families,

My name is Mike Lovenberg, and I am excited to introduce myself as the new Principal of Whitewater High School. I am honored to have been selected to join the Whitewater Unified School District, which is known far and wide for its dedication to excellence, but more importantly, to children.

Over the past 16 years, I have worked as a teacher and administrator and I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your children. We will accomplish this by setting high academic expectations for all students and providing supportive systems to assure they are met. By addressing school culture, setting high standards for teacher performance, increased academic expectations for all students and engaging the community, it is our goal at Whitewater High School that all graduates are college and career ready without mediation. We will embrace the challenges of the future while we continue to cherish and celebrate the traditions of the past. Our remarkable staff, involved parents and committed students will continue to come together to make Whitewater High School a wonderful and unique place.

Not only am I excited to begin working with your students, I also look forward to the work we will do together. As the old African Proverb states, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I am excited to see your children through your eyes. I cannot wait to share with you the great things they do throughout their days here at Whitewater High School and of course, I will be here to work with you should they need any help navigating any aspect of the school day.

Once again, I am thankful to have the opportunity to bring all that I have experienced and learned with me to your wonderful community. I look forward to getting to know you and your children. I will be working most days this summer to ensure for a smooth transition and opening in September. Please stop by to say hello. I am looking forward to working with you and your student as we work toward an academically successful school year.

Sincerely,

Mike Lovenberg, Principal
Whitewater High School
