About Northstar

Principal's Welcome

Adam Keeton, Principal

I am excited to join the entire Northstar community this year as your new principal. This will be my 23rd year in public education, all within the Eau Claire Area School District. I am honored and excited to start this journey with you. 
 
Northstar Mission Statement
The mission of the Eau Claire Area School District and Northstar Middle School is to educate our children in partnership with the family and the community to live responsible, creative, and fulfilling lives in a rapidly changing world.

To accomplish our mission, the following goals and actions have been developed and will be the focus of our work together:
 
Goals Actions
1. Increase student achievement through a focus on growth. 1. Develop healthy and safe relationships among all Northstar community members. 
2. Promote daily student attendance practices and prioritze strong student attendance.  2. Develop academic and interpersonal skills necessary for a life of independence and success after high school. 
3. Develop and maintain positive relationships with all stakeholders (family, community) to ensure that learning is a responsibility we all share and support.  3. Create and maintain strategies that promote positive problem solving with a focus on restorative practices and hope. 
4. Develop opportunities for our students to explore and identify their personal interests and share those with others through co-curricular experiences.  4. Maintain learning environments that are highly relevant and engaging for all. 
  5. Create a culture of self-reflection, continuous improvement, and a focus on growth for every student.
  6. Recognize the success, efforts, and accomplishments of students and staff. 

When we do this challenging work together, we will be a school of high academic standard, healthy and safe for all who enter here, and a great place to learn and grow. 

I look forward to our educational journey together for years to come. 


Your partner in education,
