From the Principal:
Dear Malow Junior High School Community,
I hope this letter finds you enjoying summer and looking forward to the 2022-23 school year.
My name is Kim Hodsdon and I will be the new principal at Malow Junior High School. I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the team and the legacy of excellence here at Malow.
Please allow me to share information about my personal and professional background. I am a graduate of Troy High School. I obtained my undergraduate and master’s degrees from Michigan State University, and I completed my Education Specialist in Leadership from Oakland University. I began my teaching career 23 years ago in Utica Community Schools at Utica High School where I taught English and Spanish for 17 years. I also served as the Activities Director and Student Council Adviser for my last 9 years there. For the past 6 years I have had the good fortune to serve two great UCS communities as an associate principal, first at Stevenson High School, and for the past five years, Eisenhower High School.
I have been married to my husband Rich for 24 years and we are the proud parents of two children (Julia - 19 and Caleb - 12).
I am incredibly excited to start the 2022-23 school year and to get to know everyone here at Malow. I feel very fortunate to get the opportunity to continue to work in the same community I have gotten to know and love over the past 5 years.
I look forward to meeting you and working together as partners in education. Until then, have a safe and enjoyable summer.
Sincerely,
Kim Hodsdon
Principal
