Mike Hannon for Milford School Board

I am running for election for the School Board because I want to play an active role in our school system. I would like to be a member of the board that is working toward a long-term vision to provide the absolute best educational experience possible for our children. I believe in the foundation that was established as the vision of the Milford School Board; Schools, Community, Families and Students are engaged in a dynamic educational system that produces successful students.
A little about me, I am a US Navy Veteran and for the past 18 years I have worked at Staples Inc. as a Global Director of Loss Prevention and Operations. Since moving to Milford six years ago I have volunteered as a Head Coach for my son’s baseball team and as an Assistant Coach for the Milford Middle School Boy’s Lacrosse team. I am currently a Coach and Board Member for the Souhegan Valley Lacrosse Club. Prior to moving to Milford I was a Fire Chief for the Williamsville New York Volunteer Fire Department.
I live in Milford with my wife of 24 years, Jennifer who is a 1st Grade Teacher in Hollis and our sons Matthew and Sean.
I have a proven track record that not only encourages input from others, but also welcomes active participation to make a plan work. I believe that public education is very closely tied to the quality of life in this town that our family has grown to love. I want to help influence more continued involvement and participation from the entire community, by creating an environment of trust and engagement as a School Board Member. By investing in our children now we are investing in our own future. I would like the opportunity to gain trust as a board member and foster continued growth between parents and our teachers.
We need to keep our Milford students in our school system and prevent them from feeling the need to transfer to other schools. We need to continue to innovate and enrich programs for all children to keep them involved while they are in school and in quality afterschool programs. I am concerned with the continued rise in drugs use in our children and as a community we need to provide solutions that will keep our children engaged in learning, team participation and individual growth.
By using current data and real time research I hope to give our community the best options when it is time to make decisions for our schools. My goal is to make decisions that will set our children up for success by providing them with 21st century skills that they will need to have as successful adults.
I want to be a part of a school system that is moving forward and providing a bright future for our children. I thank the current School Board, School Administration, School Staff and Teachers for providing my children with a great educational experience. I hope I will be given the opportunity to provide the same with innovative ideas, hard work and partnership.

I would appreciate your vote on March 14th.

Thank you for your support,

Mike Hannon
