No two Distinctive Schools Assistant Principals are exactly alike, but they all share a deep commitment to ignite teacher leadership and champion student excellence. As we prepare to celebrate National Assistant Principals Week, April 7–11, 2025, we're excited to shine a light on their incredible impact!
CICS Longwood Elementary Assistant Principal Kamilah Chandler-Connor's prioritizes academic excellence and a nurturing school environment. She champions instruction through close collaboration with instructional coaches, all while leading climate and culture initiatives, ensuring student safety, and fostering social-emotional learning. Ms. Chandler-Connor is especially proud of the growth she has seen from first-year teachers, as well as watching her students evolve into accountable, intrinsically motivated individuals. Since joining the Distinctive Schools team, the emphasis on higher-level thinking and best practices has accelerated her own growth as an educator and leader. We’re grateful for her passion for teacher development, and commitment to supporting urban education and the surrounding community!
While this week is National Assistant Principals Week – we are excited and honored to celebrate our incredible Distinctive Schools APs every week! APs play a critical role in each of our schools, each as unique as the roles they fulfill. From coaching our teams to growing student confidence, each AP brings their whole heart to their work. We’re proud of the culture they’ve helped shape at their schools and we are so excited to celebrate them! We invite you to join us in recognizing their dedication and leadership.
