NJSHS Principal Search

Dear Parents and members of the Newmarket community,

Hot off the presses! I wanted to share some ways that you can provide input in the development of the candidate profile for our next JSHS principal. 

NESDEC, who is overseeing the principal search, has designed an anonymous survey to gather information about qualities, skills, characteristics, experience, and knowledge that you believe we need in our next principal and to also ascertain what you perceive are the challenges and tasks the new principal should focus on in their first year on the job. When you have a moment over the next two weeks, please complete this survey so they can develop the profile the screening committee will use when they review applicants.

In addition, NESDEC will be holding a parent and community focus group in the JSHS library media center from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Saturday, March 7th so that you can share with them your thoughts, wishes, and insights about the school and/or the leadership qualities you believe are important in our new principal.  

Your input is greatly appreciated!
