Gladiator Academy Administration
Hello, I am Chuck Michael, Director of Special Education for the South Allegheny School District.
My responsibilities include: Gladiator Academy Principal and Director of Special Education K-12. Prior to my roles at South Allegheny, I was a classroom teacher, Assistant Principal in Middle school and Elementary School, an Elementary Principal, a Middle School Principal, and a Director of Special Education. The 2024-2025 school year will be my 22nd year in education.
Throughout the last 25 years, I attended California University of Pennsylvania and obtained my Bachelor’s in Special Education in 2002, Masters in Administration in 2007, and my Superintendent's Letter of Eligibility in 2013. I am a lifelong learner and continue to enroll in classes and professional development that assists in my professional and personal growth.
I have been married to my wife, Gina, for 17 years and we have a daughter, a son, and a blue nose Pitbull. I am active in my community, my church, and I coach my children's youth sports.
I am excited to be here at South Allegheny and serve the entire Gladiator family.
