A Message from Board President Wasserman
Mr. Michael Sharrow
Good Morning,
It is my honor to let you know that at last night’s Special Board Meeting, MPS Board of Education members voted unanimously to select Mr. Michael Sharrow to be our finalist for the position of Superintendent of Midland Public Schools.
Going into the evening, we had two very capable, professional candidates, Dr. Wayne Anderson from Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, and Mr. Sharrow, from Algonac, Michigan. After two extensive interviews with these very accomplished educators, Board members felt we had two very qualified candidates from which to choose.
Following last night’s deliberation where Board members discussed both candidates’ interview responses as well as their professional qualifications, accomplishments and references the Board felt Mr. Sharrow would be the right person to lead Midland Public Schools into the future.

The awards “recognize contributions by exemplary teachers beyond the ordinary level of professional performance,” and are made possible by the support of the Carl and Esther Gerstacker Donor-Advised Community Foundation. The winners receive a cash award to be used for travel, continuing education, research in education or other appropriate purposes, along with an engraved permanent testimonial.
