Fellow principals, remember this as you prepare for the opening of your school. Do not be the extinguisher of hope, positivity, excitement, and enthusiasm.
The school takes on the personality of their principal. If the principal is mean, the staff will be mean to one another and the kids, and the kids will be mean to one another. If the principal is full of energy, excitement, and enthusiasm, the teachers will be energized to teach and the students will be excited about learning. The principal can either extinguish a flame of positivity or ignite a flame of hope. The principal is responsible for the culture and mood of their school.
