Welcome to a new school year. It is always
exciting getting a new year started. As secondary principal, it is a
joy to watch the expressions of eagerness and sometimes anxiety on
the faces of my students as they return to the classroom and school
hallways. I still believe that even middle school and high school
students still hold a little enthusiasm in their hearts about the
start of a new year. I truly am looking forward to the opportunity
to serve the SDASSP Association as President. We all need to work
together to help our association continue to grow and provide strong
networking for our administrators. Administration can be a lonely
world many days, so building networks is important for all of us so
we can continue to successfully serve our students and staff. As educators in the 21st century, we
have many challenges ahead of us. However, challenges also help us
improve professionally. Colleagues working together to improve
leadership in our schools will truly put our state at the top of the
success ladder. A special thanks to all my principal colleagues
for the work you do for South Dakota teachers and students. Our
state educational system is a better place because of all of you.
I encourage each of you to take some time to celebrate our
successes with our students, teachers and community. “As a manager, the important thing is not what happens when you are there, but what happens when you are not there.” -Kenneth Blanchard & Robert Lorber
