The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District (MCPASD) is happy to announce that Middleton High School’s Associate Principal for Teaching and Learning Bobbie Reinhart has been selected as the new principal of Middleton High School, effective July 1, 2025.
Reinhart joined MCPASD in 2019 as Dean of Students at Middleton High School. He has a strong reputation for working alongside students, staff, and the community to create opportunities for students to thrive.
Reinhart has worked in public education since 2012. Before joining MCPASD, Reinhart started his career as an elementary school teacher in Verona. He also worked in a Verona middle school as a teacher and instructional leader.
Reinhart shared how his background has shaped his leadership approach and vision for Middleton High School.
“I believe in creating strong systems that support students and staff, fostering deep relationships, and ensuring that all students – whether they are excelling, facing challenges, or finding their path – feel supported and challenged to reach their potential,” Reinhart said. “Schools must be places where all students, regardless of their background, have access to high-quality instruction, meaningful relationships, and the opportunities they need to thrive.”
Reinhart said he looks forward to building on the legacy of current principal Peg Shoemaker, who will retire in June after 40 years in education.
“It's an honor to have the opportunity to build on Her dedication to our students and staff as her leadership has made a significant impact on me and our entire school community,” Reinhart said. “I am eager to build upon this strong foundation, working alongside Middleton High School's incredible teachers and staff to sustain and enhance our tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, clubs, and fine arts.”
Reinhart acknowledged that leading the largest high school in the state of Wisconsin doesn’t come without challenges, adding, “I'm confident that by working closely with our dedicated staff and engaging our students, families and our community, we will ensure that Middleton High School's reputation for excellence continues.”
