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!
Assistant Principal Jeremy Roussel at CICS Longwood High School champions both teacher and student growth by focusing on instructional excellence and academic culture. He spearheads ACT preparation and testing coordination, and works with instructional coaches to elevate teacher capacity through targeted professional development and data-driven instruction. Mr. Roussel's dedication extends to teacher evaluations, prioritizing growth, and fostering a classroom environment of rigorous learning and meaningful, joyous engagement. Mr. Roussel is inspired by his students' resilience and potential, believing that equipping them with critical thinking skills and ownership of their futures leads to them thriving. He also emphasizes the exceptional staff community at CICS Longwood High School, a team that operates like a supportive family, modeling for students the importance of empathy, unity, and heart-centered leadership.
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.
