Anticipated Opening July 1, 2026 Principal – George Washington Intermediate School Are you ready to lead a transformative educational journey that empowers students and staff to become lifelong learners, thinkers, and creators? George Washington Intermediate School seeks a visionary Principal who can cultivate an environment where mastery, inquiry, and creativity thrive. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to develop a culture that apprentices staff and students into expertise, implements innovative organizational designs, prioritizes academic growth through data-driven practices, and fosters strong community partnerships. If you're passionate about nurturing the potential of every learner and shaping the future of education, we invite you to apply. If you are interested, here is what year one is all about. For a Principal of George Washington Intermediate School, this is the stuff of dreams—helping create and initiate a vision that will allow students and staff to fulfill their potential. Develop a culture where staff and students are apprenticed into expertise through inquiry where developed knowledge is generative and unconstrained. Implement and support an organizational design where students and staff have opportunities to develop knowledge and skill (mastery), see their core selves as vitally connected to what they are learning and doing (identity), and have opportunities to enact their learning by producing something rather than simply receiving knowledge (creativity). Prioritize student academic growth and achievement through multiple measures, including standardized test scores, student progress monitoring data, and other assessment results. Set clear academic goals, monitor and evaluate curriculum implementation, provide feedback and support to teachers and staff, and ensure the use of research-based instructional practices. Engage families and the broader community in the educational process. This can involve facilitating open communication, organizing parent education programs, leveraging community resources, and fostering partnerships with local organizations and businesses. Realistically, we need someone with the proper certifications. However, we want to collaborate with a leader who can turn a vision into reality. The successful candidate needs to understand what good instruction is and looks like and be able to take educated risks that allow students and staff to fulfill their potential. We want someone who has a vision, is collaborative, and will consider both first- and second-order consequences. While this is all about year one and beyond, day one is good, too. These are things like compensation, the District, the staff, and the location. However, none of this matters unless "Year One and Beyond" makes career sense for you. Desired Skills and Experience If you can accomplish the above, you have what it takes. Realistically, you need the proper certification and hands-on knowledge of state standards, State assessments, special education, and English as a new language. If you have it, you know why. If you do not, ask someone who does, and if they think you can do the work or they will help you through it, let's talk. NYS Certification is Required Qualified candidates should submit a letter of interest, updated resume, and certification by May 26, 2026 online at www.olasjobs.org: Daniel Rehman, Superintendent West Hempstead UFSD 252 Chestnut Street West Hempstead, NY 11552 EOE.
