It’s Assistant Principals Week, and the work deserves recognition.

APs handle crises, counsel students, run operations, support staff, and shape school culture—often before lunch.

We don’t just keep schools running. We move them forward.

Tried something new at our faculty meeting: Solving Circles. 160+ staff, 26 small groups, real challenges, real solutions. Structured, time-bound, staff-driven. When you create space, educators lead.

Opening night of Footloose was a showstopper! The cast cut loose, the crowd couldn’t stop grooving. Bravo to our talented students and staff—what a toe-tapping, high-energy triumph!

I spoke at the NJECC Conference at Montclair State yesterday—giving back to the community that shaped me. Education evolves, but real progress happens when we share, learn, and lift others up. Read More: https://t.co/BKRGqKArzn

A new era begins! Our auditorium is transforming, and these brand-new seats are just the beginning. Soon, this space will be filled with stories, performances, and moments that inspire. The best is yet to come! #AuditoriumRenovation #NewBeginnings

Packed house at JPS for 8th Grade Parent Night! Over 600 parents attended, eager to learn about courses & graduation requirements. Amazing turnout despite our auditorium renovation. Can't wait to welcome our future Hawks!

Right now, it’s dust and scaffolding—soon, it’ll be a space where voices are heard and stories are told. Education is the same way: messy before it's magnificent. Growth takes time, but the results are worth it. #UnderConstruction #Education #SchoolLeadership

EdTech companies spend millions on UX research, but the most valuable UX lab is a busy high school hallway between periods. 7 years as an AP taught me: real innovation happens when Silicon Valley meets Monday morning homeroom. #EdTech #K12Admin

Leadership isn’t just decisions—it’s actions.
Dr. Kim brought a new tradition: hot chocolate for the entire staff. The JP admin team, green aprons and all, rolled through the halls, delivering cocoa, calories, and caffeine to keep the day going.

Mastery isn’t just practice (10,000-hour rule). It’s also the environment you build.

Leaders: Craft spaces where YOU and others thrive. Time + positivity + focus = progress.

How are you shaping your own growth today? #Leadership #Growth

[Ojas Ray @ojasray]

Progress is in full swing, and while it’s a construction zone now, it’s shaping up to be a stage worthy of standing ovations. Stay tuned! @edisonb_g @CDHuss @EAldarelli @HeatherDanielNJ

A powerful aerial view of our school’s Field of Flags 🇺🇸 Over 500 flags are displayed on the front lawn in tribute to those who serve. Grateful for the community effort that made this meaningful display possible. @EAldarelli @CDHuss @edisonb_g
