An Administration with A True Love for Students

Even though I have only been teaching a year and a half, I knew our school had great administrators from the start. They communicate well with each other. They always have each other's backs. You can tell there is a genuine love for one another. This semester and this past summer really showed the bond that they have and their commitment to the school. Last year we had our principal and five assistant principals. With the cuts last year, the school system decided to remove an assistant principal position. All of his duties were delegated out across the other four. It was amazing to see them step up and take up roles that they had never had to cover. They are always encouraging. Even when they are performing tasks that seem mundane. I believe this comes from their true love for the students. Again, I am thankful to be at Northwest Whitfield High School.

  1. A good point, Dwayne, that it's not only teachers taking hits from budget cuts. Good for your admin, and for you and your students, that they have stepped up after being downsized. That's true leadership!

  2. Dwayne....great point. I think if we have good administrators we seem to take it for granted when it sometimes is not the norm. With all the cuts the real leaders step up to the plate!
