I have the privilege of serving the incredible staff and students of Forest Hills Northern High School.

Our amazing Transition Center students celebrated Earth Day by giving back to the planet! They spent the day picking up trash in our community, showing that small actions can make a big impact.

Happy National Assistant Principals Week to @aromoslawski! Thank you for all you do for our school! #APWeek25 @NASSP https://t.co/hRJyRaVkWn

Yesterday, I was honored to cast my vote for @aromoslawski in the 2025 Board of Directors election for @massp.

I have a front row seat as a witness to his unwavering leadership to teachers and students here at school. MASSP would be lucky to have his continued leadership!

On May 6, 2025, FHPS will have an operating millage proposal on the ballot. Key facts: it's on NON-HOMESTEAD property, it is not a new tax, our current millage expires in 2025, and the district cannot use bond dollars for general operating expenditures. https://t.co/iq07K2PeBX

It’s the little things in a school that can make all the difference… over winter break, our awesome maintenance staff replaced every bulb with more efficient LEDs. It creates a calming and professional space to be a scholar! #huskypride

We had a great Veteran's Day assembly yesterday. It was especially powerful to watch our staff honor their parents. What a powerful way to recognize those who have served our country. #HuskyPride

[Rick Wiersma @wiersma_rick]

The @dunkindonuts crew did a great job serving our students some well deserved treats during lunches today. Thanks for treating our Huskies! #huskypride

And they deserve so much better.

“Students want to be seen, heard, and loved.” Thank you, @drphilcampbell for that reminder!

Day 2 of #PD with @PrinRipmaster from @MASSP! Today our focus is on Student Engagement within the #5D teacher evaluation rubric. I love the vision that was presented yesterday and hope to become a building leader that pushes my staff and students to get there!

When teachers have concerns, we need to do a better job of listening. Remember teachers tend to be high in agreeableness and conscientiousness. This means they don't like conflict and even when they feel something is wrong they are often afraid to speak up.

[Rick Wiersma @wiersma_rick]

@principalest This is a much needed and sobering thought.

[Rick Wiersma @wiersma_rick]

It is so important to meet students right where they are so that you can know how to walk alongside them. Sometimes there's a bit more behind the data points...

@JenisonSchools So thankful to have these two serving our staff and students in JPS! My Christmas gift is that Blanton's mustache has now been captured in all its glory...
