Meet Your Assistant Principal

Hi everyone! I am so excited to be a part of the West Powellhurst family and to work alongside Dr. Olds to make this a wonderful school year. As your Assistant Principal, my goal is to support our students, families, and staff in creating a safe and welcoming school community.

A big part of what I do is support the social, emotional, and behavioral development of our students. I also work closely with families to support student attendance, because we know that being in school every day is key to student success. I look forward to meeting many of you and working together to make this a fantastic year of learning and growth! Please feel free to say hello if you see me around campus.

With much respect,

Chad Waldman, Assistant Principal
