A culture of trust is one of the most important ingredients in a school community and we will work together with families, continuing to foster success through a positive and supportive environment. I’m eager to see our students’ growth as we collaborate to both support and challenge them to believe in themselves and achieve to their highest potential,” Schuerman said in the release.

“District and TPS staff have invested their time and energy into my professional growth and provided opportunities for me to serve in leadership roles. The Providence School staff is second to none, and there’s nowhere that I’d rather serve as principal. Being a part of our students’ personal growth and academic success has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career and I’m excited for the chance to have an even greater impact as head principal,” Yeary said in the release.

I am humbled to be asked to lead what I truly believe is the most outstanding CTE staff in the nation. Together, we will continue our work to help students find their passion and purpose, determine career goals, and get them there in the most financially responsible
way possible,” Hack said in the release.
