Administrator of the Year

The 2011 Administrator-of-the-Year for the American String Teachers Association, Michigan Unit, is Blake Prewitt. Now Co-Principal of West Bloomfield High School (former Asst. Principal and Fine Arts Coordinator), Mr. Prewitt remains a true advocate for the Orchestra program and has been relentless in making certain that the Strings/Orchestra program is given equality in the Fine Arts Department. 

Mr. Prewitt attends the orchestra concerts and is always willing to assist at the concerts, in any manner. Last school year, he assisted the string teachers in achieving the goal of creating and implementing the first annual All City Orchestra Concert. A few years ago, the district was on the verge of losing the beginning fifth grade instrumental program and Mr. Prewitt began the process to assist the teachers in explaining to the central office administration the need to keep this program. He developed several proposals demonstrating how the district could keep the program.

Though no longer the Fine Arts Coordinator due to his promotion to Co-Principal, Mr. Prewitt remains a vocal advocate and supporter of West Bloomfield’s Orchestra program.
