Head of School Matthew Horvat said Math Department Head David Hill will be the Interim High School Assistant Principal for the upcoming school year. Hill will assume the position from current High School Assistant Principal Natalie Maisey, who will become Interim High School Principal next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Horvat said the application process for the role was run through the High School Office, which held a meeting with interested faculty on how to apply. Following a screening process, three finalists were selected internally and then interviews were conducted with the Student Council presidents, the High School administrative team and department chairs, who submitted feedback forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horvat said he prepared questions to ask all three candidates during the interviews to learn more about their individual qualities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I had a set of questions that I asked all three candidates, things like, ‘How do you lead?’\u201dHorvat said. \u201c’How do you lead an organization that you’ve already had a different job in?’ ‘How do you manage that change?'”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hill said he decided to apply for the role to follow his professional goals in leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We found out in the winter that Ms. Maisey\u2019s job would be available next year, so I had a lot of time to really think about the opportunity,” Hill said. “I always knew I was interested in doing an administrative position in education leadership, so when I found out it would be available here, it was a really good opportunity.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Georgina Angus (\u201926), a student in Hill\u2019s Geometry with Proof class, said his experience as the Math Department Head sets him up well to become Interim High School Assistant Principal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe definitely has a lot of experience and has amazing potential to be great at being the Assistant Principal, especially since he\u2019s used to working with kids and understanding their learning styles from being a math teacher,\u201d Angus said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Angus said Hill\u2019s communication skills have helped her in class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s really good at communication and finding time to talk to other people and getting to know them on a genuine and real basis and knowing their needs,\u201d Angus said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
