Northeast Elementary

The most important summer activity for improving our school: hiring excellent teachers. Northeast parents, teachers and students engaged in an exhaustive process in hiring teachers from near and far. Through eight rounds of interviews, over 250 applicants were considered, over 50 applicants were interviewed. One teacher was hired from Virginia, another from North Carolina.

"This was about doing whatever it takes to bring in strong teachers. Everything we did this summer, the moves and the new hires, has been about creating instructional excellence and a strong teaching teams. I am excited about the opportunity for us to grow and perform. Together, we can make a difference for our kids and our community." - Mr. Clow
