It is with great excitement that I introduce myself as the Assistant Principal for Case Middle School.
As a North Country native, I am honored to have the opportunity to serve in the area where I grew up being inspired by exceptional educators.
The lessons I was able to absorb growing up in the Watertown area moved me to pursue a career that has been both fulfilling and meaningful to my students, myself and my family.

I spent my first two decades in a classroom, leading young scholars spanning from 4th grade- the collegiate level in their musical aspirations. My inclusive classrooms always maintained a focus on attaining success socially, emotionally, and academically with every child, regardless of their talent or ability level. It was a safe place where mistakes were encouraged and celebrated as part of the learning and growing process. Administratively, I have served as a Department Chairperson for Music and Art, as well as a Building Principal in a small rural district in the Finger Lakes, and the Assistant Principal at H. T. Wiley Intermediate School. I truly look forward to an amazing year working with the staff, students, and parents of Case Middle School!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the Case Main Office, or email me at pdunham@watertowncsd.org

Yours in Education,

Patrick Dunham
