On Tuesday, 26 March, the High School Student Council met with interim HS principal Jack Phillips. Mr. Phillips is joining our community next school year from Phoenix Country Day in Arizona, where he is currently principal. Over pizza and soft drinks, students shared the group’s goals with Mr. Phillips as well as their insight into the ASL experience. In turn, Mr. Phillips expressed his excitement for his new role, his particular interest in music and sports, and his desire to get to know the young men and women under his care. After the meeting, StuCo member Issy ’14 said, “I feel that it is essential the council establishes a positive relationship with Mr. Phillips because it is the role of the student council to bridge the gap between the students and the administration. After meeting Mr. Phillips, it became obvious that this good relationship will come naturally, and we look forward to having him as our high school principal for the 2013-14 school year.” Issy added, “Dr. Richards will be greatly missed.”
