Ep 60. What Does a High School Principal Actually Do? (Public) Ft. John Marinelli
Building off last weeks episode, we are going to dive deep into the jobs of our school leaders. This week we are taking a look at the High School Principals role.
After all my years in education, I still have no idea what the heck these people do! Are they just shaking hands and kissing babies? Who knows! Today I bring in John Marinelli, Principal of St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in London, Ontario. John has been a Principal for 6 years. Previous to this role, he was a Vice Principal for 7 years and also taught Social Sciences, Business studies and even in Guidance for 15 years. John received his bachelors of education from Western University.
In this episode we talk about:
- What are the responsibilities of a High School Principal?
- What are some soft and hard skills required to do the job?
- What are some of the hardest and most rewarding parts of the job?
- Are the working hours different than a teacher?
- What should listeners know if they want to become a High School Principal?
and much more!
