Associate Principal Survey
Dear XMS Parents,
We have begun our search for a new Associate Principal. This is an important position at our campus and in the Xavier System. So, we want to facilitate a thorough process that will help us identify quality candidates.
Last week, XMS faculty worked in their grade level groups to identify:
the strengths of Xavier Middle School
the most important qualities of a new Associate Principal
We are also seeking input from XMS families. Your input and insights are important. So, we developed a brief survey for families. We ask you to simply use the link below and take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Survey results will be shared with our Search Committee.
Thanks in advance for your participation. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on the search process. And please pray for us and our search committee during this important search for a new Associate Principal.
Sara Meyer
Principal
John Ravizza
Superintendent
Phil Riley
President
