Dear Families,

As we begin 2026 with incredible optimism, it is a pleasure to introduce myself as the new principal of Duffy Elementary School.  I have been incredibly impressed with the wonderful Wharton community, the warmth of our staff, and the kindness of our children.  I look forward to continuing our wonderful traditions and growing with our learning community.  I am excited to partner with our  professional staff and families to ensure the educational experience of our children is exemplary.  I have been fortunate to work with children for over twenty-five years as a teacher and school leader.  I am also the proud husband of a great teacher and three wonderful children.  I look forward to meeting everyone and continuing the great work that has been established at our school.  I am available to all members of our school community as I join the team.  Have a happy and healthy New Year and thank you for sharing your children with us. 

Sincerely,

Michael Windram
