Assistant Principal

Mr. Joseph Thoma

I have spent my entire career trying to find ways to support the needs of all students. I continue to look for ways that our schools can support our students so they can have more success in the classroom and in life.
I have served in many leadership roles and learned from each one of them. I truly love working with the students and staff at OCMS and want to continue to find different ways to assist them to become the best they can be.

My roles and responsibilities at Otter Creek include:

• special education coordinator
• scheduling facilitator
• school testing coordinator
• Section 504 coordinator
