在里奇菲尔德公立学校，我们通过表彰那些领导、激励和支持我们的学生、员工和社区的敬业的校长来庆祝全国校长月。 他们努力创造热情、包容和高成就的学校，培养每个人都能茁壮成长的环境。

我们请校长们向我们透露他们日常冒险的内幕，分享一些亮点，并讲述他们最美好的回忆。

Nancy Stachel， Sheridan Hills小学

Stachel校长喜欢她每天的变化和她看到的微笑。 "I like feeling that I’m making a positive impact in the Sheridan Hills community," she shared. “One of my favorite things is seeing a student accomplish something they weren’t sure they could do.” 她也很欣赏在里奇菲尔德的工作，在那里，对学校的大力支持和一个小地区的协作性质产生了很大的不同。 Principal Stachel gives a special shout-out to the amazing Sheridan Hills staff and the PTO members, saying, "I feel so incredibly blessed to work with them."

科琳·马奥尼，百年小学

在成为校长之前，马奥尼校长教过多个小学年级，并在明尼苏达州、威斯康星州、科罗拉多州和亚利桑那州持有教学和行政执照。 毫无疑问，她在学校最喜欢的部分是学生。 “I love being with kids,” she said. “They make every day wonderful.” 马奥尼校长很感激学区里每天与她交流的所有人。 “RPS is a great school system, and it is the people that make it great. 优秀的员工，学生和家庭使它成为一个热情，支持的社区。 I am always proud to say I am part of the Richfield School District, and I feel very fortunate to be part of the Centennial school family.”

凯利·伍兹，里奇菲尔德茎小学

伍兹校长喜欢与孩子们密切合作的机会，并积极影响他们的成长和学习。 “Building strong relationships with students, staff and families is one of the most rewarding parts of the job,” she shared. 与优秀的教育团队一起工作使她的经历更有意义。 Principal Woods also appreciates the supportive community at 里奇菲尔德公立学校, saying, “There’s always someone there to help when needed.” 她以前在一个大的地区工作过，她很重视RPS的紧密联系和小社区的感觉。

马修·阿诺德，里奇菲尔德双语学校

阿诺德校长进入里奇菲尔德公立学校的第一年，但他已经感觉自己是RDLS建立的神奇社区的一部分。 “I've been so impressed by the level of commitment and support from the entire Richfield community. 我们的使命和价值观是一致的，我们互相支持。 我要感谢大家对我作为RDLS新领导的热情欢迎。 I love Richfield!” 阿诺德校长喜欢了解家庭，并期待看到学生们多年来的长期发展轨迹。 “When I'm having a tough day, you'll find me in the PreK or Kindergarten classroom spending time with our youngest learners. They bring me joy each day!”

艾丽卡·巴洛，里奇菲尔德中学

As principal of 里奇菲尔德中学, Principal Barlow’s focus is on fostering a supportive and engaging environment where students can thrive. “I love watching our students develop not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well,” she said. 这是她在里奇菲尔德公立学校的第四年，她对学区内的合作文化有强烈的感觉。 “Working with such a dedicated staff and seeing how the Richfield community comes together to support education is truly special.” She’s grateful for the opportunity to guide and mentor middle school students during these formative years.

Stacy Theien-Collins，里奇菲尔德高中

校长Theien-Collins很高兴能成为RHS社区的一员。 “I have been a part of other school communities, and I can confidently say that few places match the brilliance of our students, staff and community working collectively for success,” she shared. 她很荣幸能成为一个致力于塑造教育体验，促进学生成长和创造积极的学校文化的强大团队的一员。 “I am truly grateful to be in a building and a district where all partnerships are aligned to create an amazing experience for students. Seeing their success is the ultimate reward for doing this work.”

凯西亚·威尔怀特博士，里奇菲尔德大学体验项目

作为里奇菲尔德大学体验项目（RCEP）的主任，威尔怀特博士喜欢每天与她的员工和学生密切合作。 “Working with such an excellent teaching team and collaborative administrators is a gift that one does not find everywhere,” she shared. “Working in a small but highly diverse district fills my cup.” 威尔海特博士很高兴看到学生们在学业、语言和情感上取得成功和成长。

典型的一天

While our principals have plenty of tasks each day, there’s always something unexpected that pops up. “My job is surprising every day,” shared Principal Mahoney. “Every morning I look at my calendar and plan my day, but something else always comes up. Every day is a new adventure!”

Dr. Willhite echoes that statement, saying, “Truthfully, I have no idea what will happen each day.” Principal Woods agreed, saying, “There is no such thing as a typical day because no day is ever the same.” Principal Arnold shared, “Sometimes what I think I am going to achieve for the day gets interrupted as I'm responding to building needs, and that's okay! I see my job as being a leader of leaders and building capacity in my team is something I really love doing.”

For Principal Stachel, her day starts when she first wakes up and starts thinking about the day’s staffing and substitutes. “Once I arrive at school and check in with staff, my day starts off greeting the students who ride a bus,” she said. “Each day looks a little different. 它可以包括在教室里观察，在餐厅监督，帮助学生做出更好的行为选择，与家长或社区成员会面，与老师会面，或确保员工拥有所需的资源。 It typically finishes with parent pick-up and then any final staff or district meetings.”

对于我们的中学校长来说，他们的日常职责在一年中不断变化。 “At the beginning of the year, there’s a lot of time spent helping our newer students get acclimated to middle school, find their classes each hour and learn to navigate our school,” shared Principal Barlow. 然后随着学年的继续，重点转移到建立关系，以及支持员工、学生和家庭，因为学生们正朝着成功完成学年的方向前进。

在全国校长月，我们非常感谢学校领导对学生学习、包容和成长的承诺。 他们的领导创造了一个让我们的学生可以学习、成长和超越的学校环境。
