Longtime Wayne Teacher, Assistant Principal Named Wayne Hills Principal

WAYNE, NJ — Mike Rewick, a long-time district teacher and assistant principal, has been appointed principal of Wayne Hills High School.

The Board of Education approved Rewick's appointment recently. He will begin at head of the school July 1. He replaces Maureen Weir, who became the district's director of secondary education in January. Rewick was appointed interim principal after Weir resigned.

Rewick hopes to create opportunities for students and staff to nurture skills that will lead to fulfilling careers, Superintendent Mark Toback said in a press release.

A "hallmark" of Rewick's tenure will be exposing students to work opportunities and internships while fulfilling their academic goals.

He also wants to create an "inclusive school climate where all students," including those with special needs, "are embraced for their passions and abilities."

Rewick also wants students to take ownership of themselves, the school and their community by partnering with local businesses and residents. He wants students to serve on advisory boards, work in town and lead and participate in charitable endeavors.

Rewick has been a teacher and administrator in Wayne for 17 years. He was an administrator at Wayne Valley and was the assistant principal and interim principal at Wayne Hills for 12 years. He was also a history teacher for five years.
