Fort Irwin Middle School

Mr. Opseth is the Principal at Fort Irwin Middle School. He comes to Silver Valley USD with eight years of experience. Excited to be a part of the administration team, he holds a BA in English from CSUSB, and a double-emphasis MAE in Curriculum Instruction and Instructional Technology from Brandman University. Recently, he completed all coursework for a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership from Brandman University and looks forward to completing the dissertation as soon as humanly possible!

Mr. Opseth’s philosophy on education is that every student has the capacity to learn. As educators, our role as instructional leaders takes many forms, but each student can succeed given the right mix of help and support. This year, he promises to keep it R.E.A.L. at FIMS, and encourage students to reach their greatest potential.
