Principal's Message

I’ve been a part of the Canon-McMillan School District for 31 years and have proudly served as the principal of Cecil Intermediate School (CIS) for the past 14 years. My journey with Canon-McMillan began shortly after I graduated from college, when I accepted my first teaching position as a third-grade teacher at Cecil Elementary. At the time, I hadn’t heard of the District, but I was excited for the opportunity to begin teaching. It’s safe to say that this District and community quickly became home. 

My vision for Cecil Intermediate is to continue fostering a learning environment that enables students to grow both academically and personally. Our teachers and staff genuinely care about our students—they not only support their learning, but also their overall well-being. We strive to ensure that every student feels safe, welcomed and ready to learn in a nurturing and inclusive environment.

Our school culture is centered on students, built on the belief that all children, when supported in a positive environment, are capable of reaching their full potential. Our educators make it a priority to know students as individuals, not just learners in the classroom. That sense of care and connection is something you can feel the moment you walk through the doors of CIS.

What I cherish most about my time here are the many incredible colleagues I’ve worked with—both those currently at Canon-McMillan and those who’ve since moved on. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with so many dedicated individuals who share the same pride in being part of the Canon-McMillan community.

This District has experienced remarkable growth over the past 31 years, and I’m excited to see where the future takes us.

Mr. Bob Kleinhans

Intermediate School Principal
