Message from Dr. Timothy Mitzel

Assistant to the Superintendent

From the Office of Dr. Timothy Mitzel

It is with great pride and honor that I return to Littlestown Area School District approximately 11 years after resigning as Alloway Creek Intermediate School Principal. I have begun the process of listening, learning, and leading alongside a district comprised of deeply dedicated educators.

As it is my intent to listen and learn about ways in which Littlestown Area School District has developed supportive resources for programs and practices I will continue to establish, communicate and support a climate of high expectations for student achievement. With an eye focused on the future coupled with strong community pride, together we work to honor what has been established through previous efforts. Working with administrators and teachers I commit to continue to develop and refine practices which:

Empower learners to pursue their passion while increasing student agency
Support efforts which support the Social, Emotional and Academic well being of our students
Establish future focused practices and partnerships for student opportunities
Increase Literacy and Numeracy Skills through Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Creativity
Support structures and practices which develop specific skills and habits of mind which are valued within the Littlestown community and critical for post secondary success

The Littlestown Community is steeped in tradition, success, and perseverance. It is my intent to lead and stay ever mindful that it is through the collective effort of this community, business partners, parents, teachers, administrators and board of school directors to ensure our

Thunderbolts Fly World Class.
