Welcome to Almond-Bancroft High School!
Hello Eagles!
I am honored to join Almond-Bancroft High School as your principal. This is my 15th year in education, with 13 years as a teacher and nearly 2 years in administration. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Studies Education from UW–Stevens Point in 2009 and my Master’s in Principalship and Director of Instruction from Silver Lake College in 2020.At Almond-Bancroft, we are committed to helping every student grow with respect, responsibility, and resolution to “be better tomorrow than we are today.” Our goal is for all students to graduate ready for success in their chosen post-secondary paths, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive. This means fostering high expectations, building strong relationships, and creating a culture of pride in our school and community.
Outside of school, I’ve been married to my wife, Kelly, for nine years, and we have four sons and a dog named Marley. I’m a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers, and I enjoy refereeing a variety of sports.
I look forward to working with you to make this an outstanding year.
Soar with Eagle Pride!
James Highfield
