Meet the Principal

Welcome to Central Middle School

My name is Alexandra Paszt, Principal of Central Middle School. As a 301 graduate, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in education from Eastern Illinois University, then worked in two different school districts prior to being called home to teach at Central High School. I then earned my Master’s Degree from Aurora University and embarked on my administrative journey. Throughout my administrative career, I have had the privilege of serving as an administrator in three different 301 schools: Prairie Knolls Middle School, Central High School, and Central Middle School, which has given me a clear picture of the entire secondary school experience. I am grateful that I have been able to serve in the same district that played a part in shaping me into the educator I am today. 

This school year will set the stage for our students’ important transition to Central High School.  As educators, Central Middle School staff, whose dedication to our students is truly commendable, takes this responsibility seriously, and in doing so, we encourage a collaborative relationship between our students and families. Throughout this school year, we look forward to working together to help our students meet their true potential. 

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my loving and supportive husband, Jon, my family and friends, and our two-year-old bernedoodle puppy, Lucie.  

Here’s to a fantastic 2024-2025 school year!
