Dear Round Hill Community, 

My name is Mr. Mike Gaviorno and it is an honor to introduce myself as the newest Assistant Principal at Round Hill Elementary School. I am beyond excited to begin working with the students, teachers, staff, and community of this wonderful school. This will be my 10th year in education, and I look forward to supporting and growing with everyone in this community. 

I believe that with a positive attitude, a growth mindset, and good character, anyone can achieve great things. I strive to instill those qualities in our young people and to be a positive role model as well. We are all here to learn together. It is my goal to provide a safe and nurturing educational environment that challenges our students to reach beyond their expectations to become lifelong learners who will make the world a better place.   

I am a graduate of Lynchburg College (now the University of Lynchburg) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish. At a young age I developed a passion for the Spanish language and culture. This led me to begin my career as a middle and high school Spanish teacher. In May 2020, I received my Master’s in Educational Leadership with a certification in Administration and Supervision. Before beginning my career in Administration, I previously taught in both Bedford and Botetourt County Public Schools. In addition to teaching, I coached football, basketball, and soccer at various levels. I spent this past school year as the Dean of Students at Breckinridge Middle School, and I am thrilled to continue my career supporting the students and families at Round Hill.
