Principal's Corner - Mr. Aaron B. Kilpatrick

Picture
It is an honor to serve as the principal of Civic Memorial High School.  This is my fourth year at CMHS, and ninth year in Bethalto.  Prior to being principal, I served as a Dean of Students, and as a Special Education Teacher.

I am a 1995 graduate of Sneads High School, which is located in my hometown of Sneads, FL.  I served in the United States Navy for six years before earning a Bachelors degree from SIUE in 2008.  I began my career in Bethalto as a teacher at Simpson Achievement Center, and as a member of the CMHS Football coaching staff.  After three years at the Simpson Center, I taught for one year at CMHS.  During this time, I earned a Masters degree from McKendree University.  In 2013, I was named Dean of Students of CM West (formerly SAC).  The following year, I moved into the role of Dean of Students at CMHS and Trimpe Middle School.  I served in this role for two years before being named principal of CMHS.

I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to earn a living while making a positive impact on the lives of young people.  I work with a wonderful faculty and staff who are dedicated to assisting students in achieving academic and personal success.  If I can be of any assistance to you, please contact me at 377-7230 x221 or akilpatrick@bethalto.org

It's GREAT to be a CM Eagle!
