March is designated Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation. In honor of this designation, we at the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce are featuring women in business throughout the month!

Today we are featuring Theresa Long, Head of School at MMI Preparatory School in Freeland.

Theresa began her journey as Head of School at MMI in the beginning of the 2022-2023 academic year. Theresa made history as THE FIRST woman Head of School for MMI!

As an NEPA native, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from College Misericordia and a Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University and she has a served in a number of leadership roles throughout her 35 year career in healthcare.

There are so many things to love about Theresa but what we love most is HER love and dedication to MMI and their students! She has deep roots and a unique connection with the school, not only as a long-time Board Member, but as a parent of former students who both graduated from MMI!

Theresa says, “I have seen firsthand the amazing, positive effect the faculty and staff have had on my two sons. They are impressive young men who have made the transition to college life with ease.
