Principal

I am proud to serve as the principal of Oltman Middle School and truly love the unique, energetic, and sometimes unpredictable world of middle school. These years are critical as students discover who they are, build confidence, manage strong emotions, and prepare for their next academic stage: high school!

I am deeply committed to creating a school where students feel safe, known, and challenged to grow—academically and personally. I work alongside our exceptional staff to support engaging instruction, strong relationships, and a culture of belonging where mistakes are part of learning and the unique challenges of adolescence are met with patience and care.

I value strong partnerships with families and believe that when schools and families work together, middle school students can do remarkable things. I am proud of the Oltman community and the humor, heart, and resilience that make our school a special place to learn and grow.  - Joni Hagebock, Principal
