Michael Dale left the Marshalltown School District as an Associate Principal to become the new High School Principal in Newton July 1st. Since then he says the job has met all his expectations.

“Touring the community and coming down to visit you can see the pride all over town. My experience since July 1 bares that out. People are very prideful of the community and proud of the athletics and the school system. The amount of opportunity kids at Newton High School have is tremendous. Everything that I thought I knew has been confirmed. It’s been a great place to work with an awesome dedicated staff and a very supportive community.”

Dale replaced 20 year Newton High School Principal Bill Peters who retired at the end of last school year. You can hear more from Newton High School Principal Michael Dale on today’s Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce’s Let’s Talk Newton.
