This was the last freshmen class that I taught as a teacher at Stephenson. When I left, they were upset. I came back a little over a year ago as their AP. They will always have my heart. #JaguarPride #701Excellence

@PrincipalSackey is the 🐐

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

One of the toughest jobs in education is being a principal.
Every day, principals are balancing mandates, district expectations, meetings, parent concerns, student needs, staffing issues, budgets, discipline, testing pressures, and a thousand other responsibilities most people never see.
And somehow in the middle of all that, the best principals still find ways to encourage their teachers.
They show up in classrooms. They check on people. They celebrate small wins. They protect staff when they can. They try to keep morale up even when they’re exhausted themselves.
Great principals live in the tension between leading systems and leading people.
And the ones who never lose sight of their staff in the middle of all the pressure deserve more appreciation than they often receive.
To the principals who continue fighting for kids while also trying to support, encourage, value, and appreciate their teachers:
Thank you.
Your staff may not always see everything you do behind the scenes, but your presence, support, and leadership matter more than you know.
Education is still a people business. And great principals never forget that. @NAESP @NASSP

Our scholars got a taste of everything at today’s Book Buffet!

They showed OUT!
Our 1st Annual Exceptional Ed Spelling Bee started as an extension of a spelling lesson and turned into an engaging, differentiated, student-centered experience! Huge shoutout to our para-educators for bringing this vision to life. 💙🖤
