Hempstead ISD Celebrates National Principals Month

October is National Principals Month!

During the month of October, Hempstead ISD is celebrating National Principals Month. Each year school districts take time to thank principals for their dedication to students, staff, and families. 

Principals are educators and leaders who inspire students, teachers, and staff every day. They offer support and are committed to ensuring the best outcomes for all students. 

The Hempstead ISD Principals include Keri Houston, Hempstead Early Childhood Center; Dr. Brittanee Shiflett, Hempstead Elementary; Dr. Rhonda Smith, Hempstead Middle School; and Samantha Mullens, Hempstead High School. 

“Being a principal is a tough job,” Superintendent Herbert O’Neil said. “Our principals step up every day to ensure that our campuses are safe, students are learning, and that they are well taken care of. We want our principals to know that we celebrate them and appreciate them.” 

Principals play a vital role in the success of our students and our schools. Throughout the month, help us thank our Hempstead ISD principals for creating a culture of pride and excitement for learning. 

Share how your principal has positively impacted you by tagging us @HempsteadISD on Twitter or @HempsteadSchoolDistrict on Facebook. You can use the hashtag #ThankAHempsteadPrincipal throughout the month to show your appreciation for our principals.
