Principal’s Message

Andrew ReiserAs the principal at Trowbridge School of Great Lakes Studies, I look forward to building a strong connection with my students, staff and the surrounding community. I believe that by working together, all of our students can succeed and reach their full potential both inside and outside the classroom.

At Trowbridge, we are proud of our safe, comfortable environment, where students are encouraged to be self-confident, independent decision makers.

The Trowbridge staff works together to create an engaging learning environment with classrooms committed to successfully teaching basic skills and challenging students to reach their full potential. From our strong reading and math programs to our state-of-the-art media center, students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for real-world situations and success in high school. Working with our Parent Teacher Association (P.T.A.) and other community organizations, Trowbridge builds successful partnerships that benefit our students by providing additional learning opportunities.

In planning our school’s future, teachers, parents and community leaders envision a school whose curricular focus is centered on fresh water and environmental studies. By increasing our students’ ecological awareness and taking advantage of our unique location, Trowbridge students will become thoroughly engaged in their surroundings, making the concepts being taught tangibly reinforced. It is my hope that these efforts will encourage more families to join the Trowbridge community!

For questions, concerns, enrollment information or a tour of Trowbridge School, please call (414) 294-1905. I’m looking forward to a successful year!

Sincerely,

Andrew Reiser
Principal of Trowbridge School of Great Lakes Studies
