Welcome Letter from Principal

Welcome to Webber Elementary School! Widely regarded as one of the absolute best schools in Michigan, Webber’s reputation is well deserved and characterized by a dedicated staff, supportive parents, and amazing students. We are thrilled to have you onboard!

I am so proud to be your principal – it is the greatest honor of my professional career. Prior to joining the team at Webber, I supported Lake Orion High School as an assistant principal. Before that, I served as an administrator and science teacher with the Avondale School District. Educationally, I have earned advanced degrees from Central Michigan University and Michigan State University. Many moons ago, I served in the US Navy as a member of the nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, USS Helena (SSN-725). I love nature and many hobbies associated with the outdoors. Fly fishing in a trout stream could be considered my happy place!

During my journey, I have learned many lessons that I carry with me, experiences that have shaped me as an educator and as a leader. Primarily, I believe that extraordinary results are not achieved by accident. Rather, greatness requires teamwork, consistent effort, and dedication. Those are just some of the ingredients that make Webber the amazing place that it is. Our staff have established high expectations for themselves and go above and beyond in supporting students. Have faith – your children are in good hands!

I truly value our partnership with parents, and I appreciate you joining us on the mission of providing our learners with the very best educational experience. I am looking forward to a great school year! Do not hesitate to reach out.

Tony Palmeri, Webber Elementary Principal
