Hi, I’m Charlie Richards, the Secondary Principal at Suttons Bay Public Schools. Over the course of my teaching career I have taught grades 7th - 12th as an English teacher and have been an Assistant Principal/Athletic Director for 6th - 12th grades. My first year of teaching was in Adrian Public Schools as an Adult/Alternative Education teacher and I spent nine years in Southwest Michigan (South Haven, Berrien Springs, and River Valley Schools). During that time, I also served as the Varsity Track & Field / Cross Country Coach at South Haven High School for two years and at Berrien Springs High School for seven years. I'm excited to be a part of Suttons Bay Schools and this wonderful community.

Jamie Hawkins is the Secondary Assistant Principal (grades 6 - 12) and the Athletic Director for Suttons Bay Public Schools. Jamie has earned his Master's degree in School Principalship from Central Michigan University and comes to SBPS with many years of teaching, administration, coaching, and athletic department experience. Outside of the office, Jamie enjoys the outdoors mountain biking, skiing, boating, and camping.
