Byron-Bergen Central School District Superintendent Mickey Edwards will be leaving the district in January after nearly five years. He has been selected to fill the superintendent position in Albion.
Edwards started his career in Albion as an art teacher. From 2007 to 2009, Edwards was the Principal at Charles D’Amico High School. He also served as the Assistant Principal at Carl I. Bergerson Middle School for four years and interned as Dean of Students in Ronald L. Sodoma Elementary School. Edwards lives in the district in Kent. His three children all graduated from the district.
“While I’m excited about the new opportunity, there’s also a big part of me that’s sad to be saying goodbye to such an amazing team,” said Edwards. “I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed our time working together, and how much I value the relationships we have built over the past four and a half years.”
Under his leadership, Byron-Bergen Junior-Senior High School has been named to US News and World Report Best High Schools in the Nation for the last two years. Additionally, Edwards resurrected an agriculture and FFA program in the district after the program’s 40-year hiatus and worked to increase the amount of advanced college courses offered at the high school, including AP and Genesee Community College ACE Courses. He also implemented a program for trauma, illness, and grief in the district to address the social and emotional needs of staff, students and families.
