My name is Michael Hair, I grew up in Lincoln, Kansas which is only 45 miles from Salina; consequently, I have always been familiar and associated with the community of Salina in some fashion my whole life. In 2001 I graduated from Lincoln Jr/Sr High School. In 2006 I earned my bachelor’s degree in Technology Studies from Fort Hays State University. I started teaching at Central in 2007 and have been at Central for the past 14 years teaching primarily the drafting, engineering, and architecture classes. Over the past 14 years I have periodically taught a woods and metals class as well. I earned my master’s degree in Educational Administration and Leadership from Kansas State University in 2010.
This year my wife (Michelle) and I will be celebrating our 13th anniversary. We have 3 kids Lyle-9, Elisa-6, and Ian-3. Two years ago we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to purchase my wife’s grandpa’s farm which has been in her family for generations. We currently live on the farm which is about 10 miles south of Lincoln. For the past couple years we have been really busy working on the farm and getting the place back in good condition. In my spare time I really enjoy working on the farm, hunting, trapping, and fishing along with spending time with my family.
