As you may know, we are going to be in a new building next year. And along with that, we now have a brand new assistant principal, and his name is Mr. Rowley. He started here on Monday, March 24th. According to Mr. Van Ausdal, the principal at SJHS, the school is very excited to get the chance to know him, and to move to the new building. He says he is a good guy and a very hard worker. “There is a lot of work to be done and I think he is the man to do it,” said Mr. Van Ausdal.
Mr. Van Ausdal says he is very happy for Mr. Penrod, the old assistant principal who retired, and it is a great opportunity to have someone new at the school. He also said that it will be fun getting to know him and he looks forward to the administrative team settling. Mr. Rowley will help our school to keep moving forward.
Mr. Rowley spent the past two years at Payson High School, and he used to teach school at Mapleton Jr. High School. He taught history and geography. Mr. Rowley said, “I have heard so many great things about this school; I look forward to being apart of it. The students here are great, and I am excited to get to know them better.” Mr. Rowley wants to have a broader influence on the community. He thinks being an administrator will give him that opportunity.
Ms. Miley, an assistant principal at SJHS, said, “I’ve really enjoyed working with Mr. Rowley. He has a lot to offer and will be a great addition to our school.”
Mr. Rowley will be a great addition to our school. We are glad to have him here and look forward to next year!
