  • Let's Get to Know Our Leaders
    Alumni Newsletter June 2021 LET’S GET TO KNOW OUR LEADERS Dr. Richard Klee, Principal of Taylor High School My first teaching assignment was to be the science department at a small rural school named Tollesboro Jr./Sr. High School on the edge of Appalachia. I taught all the science courses, six different ones, for grades 7 through 12. I did this while teaching freshman geology courses at the local community college for four years, when I decided to go work on a doctorate. I financed myself and with the dean’s permission took 20 hours a semester and defended my dissertation a year and a half after beginning the program. While at the University of Southern Mississippi, I met and married a fellow doctoral student who had taken a leave from her position in Dearborn, Michigan. I moved with her, after completing my doctorate, to Michigan and subbed for a few months until being hired as a high school chemistry/physics teacher at Dearborn High School. I taught there for eight years, becoming department chair, after only three years. I moved into the position of Math & Science Teacher Leader for the large district and wanted to pursue a curriculum director position. Upon being told that the curriculum director position required building experience, I applied for and became an assistant principal at O.L. Smith Middle School in Dearborn. I continued to look for a curriculum director position was interviewed and hired by the nearby Crestwood School district. I spent twelve years there in a position where I wore many hats including managing state and federal programs, safety, and security, SCECH coordinator, while also subbing for principals when out of the building.
