Mr. Andrew Goldie

Mr. Andrew M. Goldie is excited to join the Fort Campbell High School community as Assistant Principal. He was previously Assistant Principal at Mahaffey Middle Schol. With 14 years of teaching experience across three continents, working with students ranging from newborns to business professionals, Mr. Goldie brings a wealth of knowledge from a variety of educational contexts.

Mr. Goldie has been a part of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) since 2018, when he joined the faculty at Wiesbaden High School in Germany. While teaching for DoDEA, Mr. Goldie was a nominee for either the Dr. Linda Curtis Educator of Promise or Teacher of the Year Awards in nearly every year of service. Prior to his DoDEA tenure, Mr. Goldie worked primarily in international education (serving schools in China, Korea, and the Dominican Republic).

Education is a priority for Mr. Goldie, who holds degrees from Miami University (OH) and the University of Illinois—both recognized as Public Ivies—where he studied Music Education (BM) and Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership (EdM). His master’s thesis focused on revitalizing vocational education in the United States.

Mr. Goldie earned his Ohio administrative license through additional graduate work as part of the Standards-Aligned Instructional Leadership (SAIL) program at Concordia University Chicago leading to a second masters (MA) in School Leadership. He also holds professional certificates from the Harvard Business School and Harvard Graduate School of Education in school management and instructional leadership, respectively.

Currently, Mr. Goldie is pursuing his doctorate (EdD) at Columbia University’s Teachers College where he is enrolled in the selective fast-track AEGIS program in Adult Learning and Leadership. He plans to focus his dissertation on improving professional learning and development for educators.

Outside the academic realm, Mr. Goldie co-founded and held leadership roles in the Korea International Music Educators Association (KIMEA), which provides DoDEA students in Korea opportunities to participate in high-level honors events along with students at international schools. As an accomplished musician himself, Mr. Goldie has held principal trumpet positions in orchestras in Alaska, Korea, and Germany, and performed as a jazz and pit orchestra musician around the world. Despite his busy schedule, Mr. Goldie still finds time to perform around the greater Ft. Campbell area.

Mr. Goldie relocated from Germany to the Fort Campbell area with his wife of 12 years, Soeun, and their rescue cat, Tranquility (TQ). His hobbies include golfing, scuba diving, and reading. He looks forward to continuing to serve the students, families, teachers, and school staff of the Fort Campbell community.
