The Oxford School Board voted unanimously May 23 to hire Steven Wolf as the new principal for Oxford High School.

Wolf, assistant principal of Grosse Pointe South High School since 2015, was offered an annual salary of $122,000 plus an educational stipend of $2,866 (per the Oxford Administrator’s contract) for the 2017-18 school year.

Wolf has previously served as assistant principal at Parcells Middle School in Grosse Pointe; Middle Creek High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he facilitated the implementation of school-wide Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program and curriculum; and Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he facilitated International Baccalaureate (IB) authorization and accreditation.

Prior to his roles in administration, Wolf served as an Advanced Placement (AP) and IB Environmental Science teacher at Millbrook High School for five years.

“I’m so eager to join this wonderful community and help OHS build on our current momentum,” Wolf said. “There are so many opportunities that Oxford Community Schools offers our students through a wide range of academic programs, extracurricular, clubs and athletics.”

“I’m just honored and privileged for this opportunity to help us maintain, uphold and enhance our school of excellence,” he noted.

Wolf will replace Todd Dunckley, who submitted a letter of resignation in March. Dunckley served in the position since 2009 and is resigning to pursue other career opportunities.
