Mifflin’s New Principal
Please join the Mifflin school family in welcoming our new principal,
Mr. Mike Moody. Mr. Moody comes to Madison from the Triway District
in Wayne County where he most recently taught 8th grade science. He earned
his undergraduate and Master’s degrees from the University of Akron and has
been teaching for ten years.
Originally from Tuscon, Arizona, as the son of an Air Force Chief
Master Sergeant, Mr. Moody has lived all over the world including in
Turkey, Spain and the Philippines. He now makes his home in Shreve, Ohio,
where he lives with his wife and two daughters.
Mr. Moody is anticipating a wonderful year with the students and

Madison community.
