New Hanover County Schools Principals Selected to Participate in State Leadership Program

Five principals from New Hanover County Schools have been selected to participate in the 2012-2013 Distinguished Leadership in Practice Program (DLP), which is sponsored by the North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principals’ Association in partnership with The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and UNC Learn NC. The chosen principals are as follows:

• Tim Dominowski, principal of Murrayville Elementary School
• Kristin Jackson, principal of Lake Forest Academy
• Patrick McCarty, principal of Murray Middle School
• Carole Piner, principal of Anderson Elementary School

• Barbara Stock, principal of Blair Elementary School

The Distinguished Leadership in Practice Program is a year-long, cohort-based, application-based professional development program for practicing school principals. Each of the participating NHCS principals have reached the midway point of the DLP program, completing three of the six DLP Components. Listed below are the three components that have been completed, all of which are directly aligned to the performance evaluation standards adopted by the State Board of Education for North Carolina’s school leaders.

• Component One: Strategic Leadership for High Performing Schools

• Component Two: Maximizing Human Resources for Goal Accomplishment

• Component Three: Building a Collaborative Culture through Distributive Leadership

The NHCS Administrators will continue pursuing the DLP Program throughout the school year to complete the remaining three components of the leadership curriculum.
