About Principal Doucette
Leadership Philosophy by Steve Doucette
I believe effective school leadership requires courage, fairness, empathy, sound judgment, enthusiasm, humility, and imagination. A school leader must be willing to make difficult decisions while listening carefully, treating people impartially, and keeping the best interests of students at the center of those decisions.
My goal is to provide a learning environment that is safe, welcoming, and engaging. It should be a place in which students, staff, families, and the community can take pride. Every student should be supported in reaching their full potential and leave our school prepared to communicate effectively, learn independently, solve problems creatively, collaborate with others, and participate responsibly in their community.
Strong schools are built through shared leadership. I believe in recognizing staff members who contribute to our success, developing leadership in others, and promoting teamwork among students and staff. Teachers and support staff should be respected and treated as professionals, while instructional decisions should be informed by meaningful evidence of student learning.
I am a strong advocate for fostering a positive school culture that students and staff can be proud of and genuinely enjoy being part of. Open communication, strong relationships, teamwork, and school spirit help create that sense of belonging. By working together with a shared purpose, we can strengthen our Warrior Family and create greater opportunities for every student to succeed.
Serving as principal is both a privilege and a tremendous responsibility. Above all, I am committed to keeping our students safe, supporting their growth, and providing them with rich and meaningful learning experiences in a school community where every person feels valued.
About Dean Chouinard
At the heart of a thriving middle and high school culture are the core values of Respect, Honesty, Responsibility, and Engaged & Invested Learning. These principles are the foundation for building a nurturing, inclusive environment where all students feel valued and empowered to grow academically, socially, and athletically.
Respect
Respect is the cornerstone of any healthy school community. It begins with teachers and staff modeling kindness and empathy, ensuring that every interaction—whether with students, colleagues, or parents—reflects a commitment to dignity. When students feel respected by the adults in their lives, they, in turn, are more likely to demonstrate respect toward one another and their teachers. This mutual respect fosters a safe environment where students feel confident to express themselves, take risks in their learning, and collaborate with peers.
Honesty
Honesty cultivates trust, which is essential for any meaningful relationship. In a school culture rooted in honesty, students are encouraged to be truthful in their work, interactions, and self-reflections. Teachers and staff must lead by example, creating an atmosphere where integrity is not just expected but celebrated. Honesty allows students to take ownership of their mistakes, learn from them, and move forward with confidence, knowing they are supported in their growth.
Responsibility
Fostering responsibility means teaching students to be accountable for their actions, choices, and contributions to the school community. It involves more than meeting academic deadlines; it encompasses being responsible for one's behavior, relationships, and learning process. By encouraging students to take ownership of their own development, we prepare them for future leadership roles and instill a sense of pride in their individual and collective achievements.
Engaged & Invested Learning
An engaged and invested approach to learning ensures that students are active participants in their education. Teachers play a crucial role in creating an environment where curiosity is encouraged, and learning is seen as a collaborative process. Engaged students are not only more likely to excel academically but also to develop a lifelong passion for learning, which extends beyond the classroom. In such an environment, students are encouraged to pursue their interests, take initiative, and approach challenges with resilience.
