Matthew J. Stark, Principal

Welcome to Brown County High School's web site! This is a collaboration of many students and staff to give the most up to date information possible. I hope you take the time to learn about our students and staff.

I am Matthew J. Stark, Principal of Brown County High School. I graduated in 1991 from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Arts in History and in 1992 I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Education. I started teaching Social Studies at Brown County High School in the fall of 1992. 

Since I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana this was my first experience in a smaller community. I fell in love with Brown County. The people, the culture, the beauty, and the closeness have made this a very special place for me. In 1995, I met and married my wife Amy and we have two wonderful children Alex and Mara. 

In March 2002 I was given the opportunity to become Assistant Principal. Principal Randy Barrett left in December 2002 and I was named Acting Principal until the fall of 2003 when I was hired as Principal. I believe working with young adults is the most exciting part of being in education. Brown County High School has a wealth of talented students who are of solid character. Our staff is truly committed to helping students achieve their potential. It is an honor and a pleasure to serve the students, the parents, the staff, and the community. We are very proud of our students. I hope as Principal to promote an atmosphere where all students can achieve success and look to fulfill their dreams.
