Mr. Warfield

Hello!  Mr. Warfield here!  I am so proud and humbled to be the Principal at such a fine school – Meadowvale Elementary! 

 

I am the father of six children: Greg, Sarah, Jonathan, Abigail, Zachary and Nathaniel – four boys and two girls.  Their ages range from 29 to 14.  I have been a musician since I began playing the trumpet when I was in 4th grade at Forest Hill Elementary School right here in Harford County.  The year must have been 1982 – almost 40 years ago.  I still perform around Harford County from time to time.  Primarily for special services at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Hickory.  Since that time, I have been fortunate to learn how to play many instruments.  My kids are musicians too. 

 

After graduating from North Harford High School in 1991, and then Peabody Conservatory of Music in 1995, I began my career with Harford County Public Schools in the Fall of 1996 as an Instrumental Music Teacher at Bakerfield and Halls Cross Roads Elementary schools.  I was split between both schools and loved every minute of my 12 years in that position.  As part of my required course work, I earned a Masters of Leadership in Teacher from the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore, MD.  This course work provided me with the Administration One certification that I needed to apply to be an administrator with Harford County Public Schools.  In the Spring of 2008, I applied for Assistant Principal – 10 Month, and was placed at Magnolia Elementary School in Joppa where I remained for 5 years.  From there, I applied for an Assistant Principal – 12 Month position and was placed and William Paca/Old Post Road Elementary in Abingdon.  I was in that position for four years when I decided to sit for the licensure for Administration Two certification.  This enable me to apply for a Principal position.  I applied and was blessed to be placed right here at Meadowvale Elementary School.  

 

It has been my absolute pleasure and honor to be the Principal of such a wonderful community school.  The students, families and staff are simply fabulous.  Meadowvale truly is “Heaven on the Hill!”
