The @KSPrincipals Association (KPA) has announced the 2024 Kansas Principal of the Year area winners. We are so proud to announce that our own Chris Zuck of Olathe Northwest High School is the Area 1 High School Principal of the Year! “There are so many talented and hardworking principals, and I’m so honored to be nominated for this award,” Zuck said. “I truly consider it a testament to the amazing students and incredible staff I get to work alongside each day. I’m so thankful for the tremendous support of our community for ONW.” Zuck took over as Principal of Olathe Northwest at the start of the 2016-2017 school year. Before that, he spent 14 years at Shawnee Mission North High School, both as a teacher and an Associate Principal. “Chris is a perfect example of what we look for in a school administrator,” Superintendent Dr. Brent Yeager said. “He is a strong instructional leader and is committed to developing trusted relationships within his Raven community. Chris always goes the extra mile for the better of our students, staff and community, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving for this award!” KPA is an organization of over 790 building level leaders from across Kansas. These candidates were nominated by their school communities and selected by a committee of their peers. Candidates are evaluated on their school leadership, school improvement, dedication, professionalism, and service to students. As the Area 1 Principal of the year, Zuck will advance to the next level of competition for the state honor. A committee will select the state winner in April, who will then compete at the national level. Join us in congratulating Principal Zuck for this amazing honor! He has shown great levels of commitment and dedication to his school and community, and we are so thankful to have him in our district! #OPSForwardTogether
