SHS LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTE SURVEY
As GSCS begins the important process of selecting the next principal of Spalding High School, we recognize that strong leadership is essential to the continued success, growth and well-being of our students, staff and school community. The principal plays a critical role in setting the vision, shaping the culture, supporting teaching and learning and ensuring a safe and positive environment for all. To ensure we identify a leader who reflects the values and priorities of our school community, we are seeking your input on the leadership attributes, skills and experiences that matter most to you. Your feedback will help guide the development of the leadership profile and inform the selection process. We encourage all stakeholders, students, families, staff and community members, to take a few moments to complete this survey.
