Welcome, Mitch Green

We'd like to welcome Mitch Green as the new principal of Trickum Middle School, effective June 2!

Mitch Green currently serves as the Principal of Baggett Elementary School. Mitch began his career in education almost 30 years ago teaching special education at an alternative high school in New Jersey and has since served both general and special education students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The majority of Mitch’s career was spent at Trickum Middle School where he served first as a special education teacher, a general education teacher, and finally as an assistant principal. After leaving Trickum in 2012, Mitch served briefly as an assistant principal at Hopkins Elementary before being named principal of Henderson Mill Elementary School in the DeKalb County School District. During his tenure, Henderson Mill was recognized as the first STEAM-certified school in the State of Georgia, a Beating the Odds School by the State DOE, and Mitch, himself, was recognized by the Atlanta Families Award for Excellence in Education in the area of School Leadership. Following a four-and-a-half year tenure there, Mitch moved with his family to Quito, Ecuador where he served as the Director of Language and Learning Services, leading a team to support PK-12th grade special needs students as well as those working to acquire the English language. In June of 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Mitch and his family moved back to the metropolitan Atlanta area as he was named principal of Baggett Elementary School in the Discovery Cluster. For the past 5 school years, Mitch has championed the values of engaged learning through STEAM, formed a school culture that is second-to-none, and led the effort to provide experiences to students well beyond those of a typical elementary school. Mitch is excited to rejoin the Parkview Community this summer as he transitions into the role of principal of Trickum Middle School.
