October is National Principal Appreciation Month!
Today we are honoring Joseph Theobold from Q.I. Roberts Jr. Sr. High School.
When asked what his favorite thing about being a principal was he responded: "I love the challenge of creating an environment that is supportive while maintaining high expectations, allowing a safe place for students to learn through failure. Our students and the people who work with them everyday provide me with such joy and inspiration. "
