Luke Siebert
Hello, my name is Luke Siebert, I’m the Executive Director at Vista Charter School, welcome to our website! I’m very excited to be a part of such a wonderful educational environment. Throughout my career, I have provided leadership, direction, and support for Career and Technical Education programs, both at a statewide and regional level.
During my eleven years of classroom teaching experience, I had the privilege of teaching CTE- related courses at the secondary level in 7-12 grades. My expertise in developing CTE programming, a curiosity in implementing Competency Based Education, and a love of student learning led me to accolades, including the Herb Kohl Educational Fellowship and Wisconsin’s State High School Teacher of the Year.
Personal mentors during my teaching years strongly encouraged me to seek educational leadership positions. After teaching welding and fabrication technology in a post-secondary environment, I found my calling as CTE Director for the Delta Schoolcraft Intermediate School District. I worked with DSISD for seven years prior to starting my own company, CTE Consultants LLC, where I have been consulting with DSISD as CTE Director of Region 02 and CEPD 05. As a result of my work, I became a state-recognized Director of Career and Technology Education.
During my time as CTE Director for the DSISD, we increased student enrollment by 100% at the career center through partnerships with Michigan Works, NMU, Bay College, LEA’s, and local businesses. Working with the department of the Office of Career and Technical Education, we were able to establish several Early Middle College programs. I also recently contracted with MDE at the state level as a consultant for Early Middle Colleges, providing research-based reports on EMC funding mechanisms throughout the country.
In addition to my professional experience, I received my Master of Education degree with a focus on Administration and Supervision, I hold a license in Administration and Supervision of Secondary Education at MDE, and I also carry a lifetime teaching certificate in Technology Education.
I’m continually impressed with the vision and professional expertise of our folks here at Vista Charter School. I think you’ll find that our ideas in working with our students create a wonderful atmosphere that promotes respect and integrity among our students. Vista is full of opportunities and I encourage anyone interested in sending their student here to come visit to see what we’re all about!
