Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year! My name is Michael Larson and I am the Assistant Principal here at Essex High School.  I am looking forward to an amazing year as we chase excellence in the classroom as well as the community.

I started my educational career in 2006 as a History teacher in Southern Maryland.  While in the classroom, I worked with middle and high school students.  In 2013, I was appointed to be an Assistant Principal.  I left Maryland in 2019 and became part of the Essex High School family in 2020.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in History and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  I have twin daughters who are in middle school and enjoy watching and playing sports.

My Why:

I believe that every student that walks through the doors of Essex High School has the gifts and talents to transform the world into a better place.  Through positive relationship building, I want to play a part in shaping the future of our young people while they are here at Essex High School and beyond.
