Pros
There is an opportunity to bring fresh perspectives and experience into a growing environment where teachers are high-quality and self-sufficient, students are brilliant, and families are actively engaged.
Cons
There is no coherent vision for where the school is headed—just vague expectations that you will come in and "design" one from scratch, without any meaningful support, context, or collaboration. Leadership is consumed by endless meetings that produce nothing of substance, while teacher development and instructional strategy are treated as afterthoughts. They want you to consume yourself with work and emails because that's what the HOS models. The culture is suffocatingly rigid, and C-level staff—some of whom exhibit blatantly racist behavior—spend their days pretending to work while bouncing between personal appointments. It’s dysfunctional.
