🎉📚 Welcome Our New Middle School Principal! 📚🎉

Michigan Virtual Charter Academy is excited to welcome Mrs. Packard as our new Middle School Principal!

With 20 years of experience in education, Mrs. Packard brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and dedication to supporting students and families. Throughout her career, she has had the opportunity to impact countless students and considers it a privilege to be part of their educational journeys.

Mrs. Packard lives in Tecumseh with her husband, three teenage children, three cats, and one dog. When she is not working with students, she enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, exploring Northern Michigan, and learning about Michigan's rich maritime history. Last summer, she even had the unique opportunity to serve as a volunteer live-in lighthouse keeper at the Ludington Breakwater Light on Lake Michigan!

"I can't wait to get to know everyone as I get settled into my role!" shares Mrs. Packard.

Please join us in giving Mrs. Packard a warm MVCA welcome as she begins this exciting new chapter with our school community. We look forward to the leadership, experience, and enthusiasm she brings to our middle school students and families.
