Meet Our Administration

Principal - Joseph Schirmer

Welcome to Eric Birch High School! As Principal, I’m honored to lead a campus that is deeply committed to fostering a positive, safe, and inclusive culture where every student is seen, supported, and empowered. At Eric Birch, we prioritize strong instruction, meaningful relationships, and social-emotional learning to ensure our students thrive both academically and personally. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to create a safe and respectful environment where students can grow with confidence and purpose.

Eric Birch is proud to be a model school offering an alternative path to graduation through a credit recovery model that prepares students for college, careers, and life. Each student follows an individualized journey, with the flexibility to return to their comprehensive high school or continue with us and graduate as a Jaguar. Whether you're new to our campus or returning, we’re excited to partner with you in building a future full of opportunity and success. Welcome to the Eric Birch family!
