“I am pleased to welcome Alex to the administrative team at Grissom Middle School,” said Principal Michael Rumbaugh. “Alex brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the assistant principal role. His expertise and student-centered philosophies will serve our school and district well.”
Weinberg has been in education for over ten years and was most recently the assistant principal of William B. Orenic Intermediate School in Troy 30-C. Before that, he taught science and social studies at Chippewa Middle School in Community Consolidated School District 62. He holds a master’s degree in School Leadership from Concordia University - Chicago, a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Olivet Nazarene University, and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign.
