Northville Public Schools is proud to announce the official appointment of Kelly Moffett as Assistant Principal of Hillside Middle School. Ms. Moffett has been serving as the interim assistant principal since the departure of former assistant principal Natalie Mootry several months ago. We extend our best wishes to Ms. Mootry in her future endeavors and thank her for her service to the Hillside community.
Ms. Moffett, a valued member of the Hillside staff since August 2021, originally joined as a beloved art teacher. Her transition into the interim assistant principal role was seamless, and she has performed exceptionally well, earning the respect and confidence of students, staff, and families alike.
Throughout her time at Hillside, Moffett has demonstrated a deep commitment to student success, collaborative leadership, and instructional excellence. Her ability to build strong, trusting relationships across the school community has made her a respected and inspiring leader.
Ms. Moffett shared, "I'm incredibly honored and excited to step into the role of Assistant Principal here at Hillside. While I will truly miss teaching art and the daily interactions that came with it, I'm looking forward to this new opportunity to support our students, families, and staff in a broader way. I'm especially excited to connect with our incoming 6th graders and be part of memorable experiences in middle school, such as 6th grade camp. I'm deeply grateful for this chance to serve our community in a new capacity and am committed to helping our school thrive."
Principal Jones added, "I am excited to welcome Ms. Moffett to the administrative team at Hillside. During her administrative internship and her time as the interim assistant principal, she has proven herself capable, compassionate, and reliable. I am glad to see her in this new role and pleased that her contributions to Hillside will continue outside the classroom."
As Assistant Principal, Moffett will continue to support the academic and social-emotional growth of all students while partnering closely with teachers, staff, and families to foster a positive and inclusive school environment.
Please join us in congratulating Kelly Moffett on this well-deserved appointment. The Northville community is fortunate to have her continued leadership!
