Educator Settling Into New Role

Luxemburg-Casco Intermediate School Principal Heather Mleziva surrounded by her students. Submitted.

Heather Mleziva began her position as Luxemburg-Casco Intermediate School Principal in July of 2023, after six years as an eighth-grade special education teacher at Denmark Middle School. In the months since Mleziva started, she has introduced several initiatives influenced by her educational approach. That approach is based on four fundamentals: relationships, sense of belonging, knowledge and purpose. Mleziva strives to be present in the classroom and other areas of the school as much as possible. 

“I can’t emphasize enough how important a partnership is between school and home,” said Mleziva. “Partnership – and open communication – is critical to our collective success. Being able to work together creates the best opportunities for students.”
