Nicholas Wilson: Assistant Principal of Instruction – Humanities, Hardy Williams High

“As an assistant principal of instruction, there are three aspects of my job that fill my cup most. First, I get to serve our families by giving them confidence that our school is going to strive to be consistent with doing right by their children. They’ve put a lot of trust in us, and that’s a responsibility I feel more conviction and motivation for daily. Second, I can contribute in tangible ways to fortify a school community deeply invested in empowerment, impact, purpose, and love. I know that when I show up with that top of mind, heart and actions, and celebrate those same qualities in our staff, it inevitably permeates throughout our building and reaches our kids. Third, I have the autonomy to make positive changes. I have the opportunity to translate my values, convictions, dreams, and philosophy in a very actionable way. When I see problems or opportunities – there’s almost always something I can do about it. That’s very fulfilling for me.”
