No time to volunteer? No time to bake? Tired of buying and selling cookie doughand gift wrap? The RAIDER FUND is for you!

The Raider Fund is an "un-fundraiser"--meaning, we are simply asking for monetary donations--no selling.

We are also hoping to fund some new comfy lobby furniture for the kids to use while they congregate after drop off before school starts!!! Please consider donating to help make that happen!

The MTSD Board of Education approved the appointment at their regular business meeting on Monday, May 20. Mr. Haubenreich will begin in the role this summer, following the resignation of Mrs. Alli Rudich, who is transitioning to the Cedarburg School District as its Director of Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. 

Mr. Haubenreich has most recently served as an associate principal, and world language teacher and curriculum chair in the School District of Menomonee Falls. He holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and Spanish from UW-La Crosse, a master’s degree in education from the University of Kentucky, and an additional master’s degree in educational leadership from Concordia University Wisconsin. 

“Mr. Haubenreich firmly believes that all students can thrive in a safe environment where growth is encouraged and where educators collectively believe that their efforts can improve student outcomes,” said Dr. Matthew Joynt, MTSD Superintendent of Schools. “His commitment to lifelong learning, intentional leadership, and maximizing the developmental influence of the ‘middle years’ for our adolescent students makes him a wonderful fit for the principal position.”

Together, Haubenreich and Mr. Sam Nadolsky, who was announced as the next principal of Steffen Middle School, represent the new MTSD middle school leadership team, starting in the 2024-25 school year.
