JASON MCELRATH, right, new superintendent and high ,chool principal in Hillman, gets
to know some members of the community at a "meet and greet" on Oct. 14.
Meet and greet held for Jason McEIrath
by Yvonno Sger Jason McElrath, new
St@reporter superintendent and
high school principal in Hillman, had an
oppormnityto become familiar with mem-
bers of the community at a "meet and
greet" on Oct. 14.
McElrath has most recently been serving
as dean of students for a district in the
Manistee area and had a desire to move
into administration. He said he had been
applying mainly in northern Michigan ar-
eas.
He is somewhat familiarwith the Hillman
area, he said, because his mother-in-law
lives in Ocqueoc and a former boss of his is
from Hillman. He applied for the position
as principal in Hillman when it was ini-
tially advertised, and, when the district
decided to advertise for someone who
could also serve as superintendent, he was
still interested.
McElrath is originally from Battle Creek
and his wife is from Farmington Hills.
"We've done the busy lifestyle. We love
the small town atmosphere," he said.
He likes rural drivingbetter than city driv-
ing, he said, and that his children don't
have to face the same issues in a small town
that they would have to face in a bigger city.
"I'm looking forward to getting to know
the community. I want to see Hlllman
Schools do just as well as they have in the
past and continue to improve," McElrath
said.
