We are partnering with Northwest Leadership Associates to recruit and screen applicants for the AHS principal position. The new principal’s first day will be July 1, 2022. There are multiple opportunities for the community to engage throughout the process. Applications are currently being accepted through April 29.
Surveys for all Families, Staff, Students, and Community
A survey is currently open to all families, staff, students, and community members to gather feedback on leadership characteristics and qualities that you would like to see in our next principal. Please respond by April 20.
Applicant Screening Process
Northwest Leadership Associates will review all applicants and conduct background checks and references. They will support the executive leadership team and the superintendent in choosing 6-8 candidates to interview. We will use feedback from the survey to help identify applicants for interviews.
Interview Process
A staff and student panel will interview selected candidates and choose 2-3 to move forward. The top 2 to 3 candidates will participate in multiple interviews and building tours with staff, students, and administrators and present to the community in a public forum.
Community Forum for all Families, Staff, Students, and Community
Families, staff, students, and community members are invited to a community forum with the top 2-3 candidates on Monday, May 23 at 5:30 p.m. at Brodniak Auditorium. Candidates will present and answer questions from in-person audience members. The forum will also be live-streamed (youtube.com/ahslive).
Feedback on the candidates will be collected both in-person and electronically, although only in-person audience members will be able to ask questions of the candidates.
Final Interviews
The superintendent will conduct final interviews with the top 2-3 candidates and decide based on feedback from all groups involved, performance throughout the interview process, and background and reference checks.
Thank you for engaging in this important process. We look forward to your participation and feedback about the candidates.
