That s easier said than done. You look for teachers who understand that on a given day you may work with someone who can test your patience and your limits, but who also understand that they will be the very ones who will be there to give you the shirts off their back. We want teachers who genuinely believe they have the power and ability to make each student successful. We look for teachers who have passion, enthusiasm and a zest for teaching and learning. The teacher makes the difference.
Person brings a veteran presence to the new school.
He was the principal at Park View HS for eight years before spending last year planning Stone Bridge s opening. Before that, Person was an assistant principal for 13 years, serving at Loudoun Valley, Park View, and Loudoun County high schools. Despite his experience, opening a new school has presented him with a different set of challenges. The fun and challenging part of this is that you get to put a little bit of your own stamp and vision into creating a new school. It s been fun.
