Greetings Millersburg Area SD,

    I am thrilled to take this opportunity to introduce myself to our community.  I grew up in Lewisburg and studied education at Bucknell University.  I taught in special education classrooms for eight years while completing my master’s degree and special education supervisory certificate at Bloomsburg University.  I then worked as a special education administrator for eight years.  I completed my doctoral degree in Educational Leadership from Drexel University and began employment with the Capital Area IU in 2021.  I have gained valuable experiences from these positions and look forward to serving this community.  I realized while working at CAIU, that I thrive in small rural school districts where I can forge close connections to staff and students. 

     Beyond my professional life, I cherish time with my family.  I am a proud parent of two girls and two boys, ranging in age from 23 to nine.  We particularly enjoy the outdoors:  hunting, fishing, walking, travelling, sports, and swimming, etc.  Our family is completed by a pair of English Springer Spaniels named Prim and Pippa.

     As the Superintendent of Schools, it is my intent to be accessible and approachable, and to support staff in emulating a positive, welcoming atmosphere for student growth.  I can assure students and families that we will have open communication and a safe learning environment where all students can experience success.  As we start of the 24-25 school year, I will share more information about my vision for our school district.

    In closing, I want to share a quote that inspires me and encapsulates our journey ahead.  “Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon… must inevitably come to pass!  - Paul J. Meyer.

Let’s dream big Millersburg!

Warm regards,

Lee Bzdil
