Assistant Principal
Phil Mitchell is joining Liberty Memorial Central Middle School as assistant principal/athletic director after teaching social studies and coaching at Free State High School for the past 15 years. His work in the past few years on the school board's Budget and Program Evaluation Committee and Futures Planning committee gave him a greater appreciation of the external factors that impact our classrooms and inspired him to complete a program in educational leadership.
Mitchell attended KU for his undergraduate degree and has lived in Lawrence for the past 22 years. His partner, Lauren, is an elementary ESOL teacher in our district and his three children attended Lawrence Public Schools.
Mitchell is very excited to begin his leadership journey at Central, to support staff and students in their efforts, and celebrate our successes along the way!
