George, Iowa — When students go back to school at George-Little Rock, a new face will greet them. A new principal will start his first school year this year.
Mr. Steven Green says he is not only the new principal of the George-Little Rock High School and George Elementary in George, he is also new to the principal job at any school.
His previous experience was in eastern Iowa, in the Ottumwa Community School District, teaching upper elementary and middle school, and serving as a high school coach.
He tells us about where he went to college.
Mr. Green tells us about his philosophy of education.
Green says his wife Molly works for Sanford Sheldon, and his daughters Megan and Grace will both be attending George-Litte Rock High School. He says they currently live in Hawarden but are transitioning now to the George area.
He says he’s looking forward to this year. He says George-Little Rock made a big investment in technology by buying Chromebooks for students, and that will present many opportunities this school year.
Green says he’s going to challenge everyone to have a “growth mindset.” He says he will be a “servant leader,” and a “transparent leader.” Mr. Green says everyone needs to be working toward a common goal as a team. He says, “we need to serve each other and embody the value of relationships.”
