DEAN OF STUDENTS SPOTLIGHT!
It’s National Assistant Principals Week, and we are using this opportunity to spotlight Mrs. Kadie Benz, Jersey Community High School Dean of Students!
What was your favorite subject when you were in school?
I feel like I should say math because that is what I taught for so many years, but I don't know that I really had a favorite subject in high school, but I definitely had favorite teachers - including Mr. Roth!
What’s something about you that students might be surprised to learn?
I can officially say that I attended Duke University to study math. (It was technically only for a week, but it was an honor to be selected for the program.)
What’s your go-to snack or drink during the school day?
Diet Soda or flavored water (current favorite flavor is Mermaid Water) and whatever is in my lunchbox (but I would definitely prefer to snack out of the candy bowl in my office).
If you could give one piece of advice to students, what would it be?
CHOOSE KINDNESS. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself.
What’s your favorite part of being an assistant principal?
I enjoy helping people. Whether it's teachers, students, parents, or subs, I always work my hardest to give them my best every day.
Thanks, Mrs. Benz, for being a wonderful leader and mentor to your Panthers!
