Dr. Brian Muller

I am extremely honored to serve right here in my very own community as the principal of Northwest High School. For decades, this school community has consistently demonstrated a tradition of excellence that is unmatched, and I am proud to be a part of it. Our students have proven that they perform at high levels of proficiency and like to be challenged with high rigor in the classroom so they can compete with the best students in the country. In the time I have spent here as a parent and a principal, I can tell you that there are many more qualities and attributes that make us exemplary. Parent involvement and support, motivated/inspired/dedicated students, school spirit, effective and committed teachers who genuinely care, high expectations, and the loyalty and traditions in our community make Northwest High stand out above the rest.

I consider it my responsibility to push our students to even greater academic heights and expose students to various career pathways or post-secondary opportunities so they can allow us to help them work toward those goals. I believe it takes the investment of every person in our school community for us to sustain our standard of excellence. I want there to be something available at Northwest High for every student to feel a sense of belongingness such as clubs, curriculum, sports, or the arts. It is important to me that our school demonstrates an atmosphere of mutual respect where teachers, students, and parents are valued and heard. I love our school and I want to thank you for choosing to be a part of our Viking Nation!

Personal

My wife is a graduate of Northwest High and is a kindergarten teacher right here in our Northwest community. We have three amazing kids who are all Vikings: Class of 2024, 2027, and 2029. We value our family time and love to travel to new places. I am a big fan of the Florida Gators and Atlanta Braves. Although I was born in Florida, I have lived in North Carolina for 30 years.

Communication

As you know, we have outstanding teachers here at Northwest High School. Please contact them first if you have any concerns or questions about the classroom. It is my mission to be accessible and visible to teachers, parents, and students. I think that effective communication is important. Please email or call me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas. You can reach me by email at mullerb@gcsnc.com or by phone at (336) 605-3300.
