Principal's Corner

Dear TEACH Academy Families,

It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I introduce

myself as the new Principal of TEACH Academy of

Technologies. I am deeply honored to be given the

opportunity to lead this incredible school community

and to ensure the very best educational experience

for your children.

I bring 22 years of experience in education, serving

as a teacher, instructional leader, and principal in

schools that have been recognized for academic

excellence and innovation. My leadership is grounded

in servant leadership focusing on listening first,

building trust, and creating a culture where students, families, and staff feel valued and supported. I firmly believe that all students can achieve at the highest levels when provided with the right opportunities, guidance, and care. Throughout my career, I have seen the powerful impact that strong family partnerships have on student success, and I look forward to collaborating with you, hearing your voices, and working together to support every child’s growth.

My primary goals as Principal align closely with our school’s vision of nurturing the whole child. Addressing the social, physical, emotional, and intellectual needs of each student while preparing them to thrive academically, socially, and globally. TEACH Academy of Technologies is a positive driven, innovative learning environment that integrates literacy and technology to empower students to reach their fullest potential. I am excited to embark on this journey with your children and our dedicated staff as we build on this strong foundation and continue to strive for excellence together.

This year, we will build on that foundation by focusing on:

Cultivating strong relationships between school, families, and our community.
Purposeful literacy and technology integration that equips students for real world challenges.
Creating a joyful and welcoming school culture rooted in grace, where high expectations for learning and behavior are paired with the support students need to meet them.

I look forward to meeting many of you personally at our upcoming orientation nights and throughout the school year. If you have any immediate questions or thoughts you’d like to share, please feel free to reach out to me directly at jdeweerd@teachps.org. Thank you for entrusting TEACH with the education and wellbeing of your children.

Warmly,

Joshua DeWeerd

Principal
