Gifts of Time, Talent and Treasure
Michael Maibach was first introduced to The Heights School by his friends Tom and Amy Spence. Many of his other friends have also enrolled their sons at the school over the years.
Maibach, a professional in global business diplomacy and civic engagement who currently serves as managing director at the James Wilson Institute, has firsthand experience with The Heights School, too. He's given speeches to students and hopes to present more talks focusing on the Constitution and his business experiences.
The latter is certainly something students could benefit from. In 1983, the founders of the Intel Corporation hired Maibach to create its government affairs department. Then, in 2003, Maibach took the European-American Business Council out of bankruptcy.
A believer in lifelong education, Maibach has earned seven degrees from various institutions. His commitment to continuous learning results in a desire to give back to organizations like The Heights School.
"The Heights is a model for all American high schools," he said. "Men teaching boys how to become fine Christian men. The school is orderly, full of engagement across all grades and has first-rate teachers."
In 2021, Maibach donated five original oil paintings to the school, including one depicting the Monitor and Merrimac naval battle. He's also given back financially.
Ultimately, Maibach's gifts of time, talent and treasure are an end product of his conviction that "improving one young life can improve countless other lives."
