![]() Frida Morales Staff Writer This year, Hubbard welcomes our new assistant principal, Mr. John Newman. He has lived on the northwest side of Chicago his whole life. Before coming to Hubbard Mr. Newman was a high school math teacher and mathematics specialist at South Shore School of Leadership for 7 years. He later worked as Hubbard’s ISL technician. After that, he decided to apply for an assistant principal role at Hubbard so that he could work more closely with our school. He stated that in order for him to become an assistant principal at Hubbard, he had to obtain an Illinois state 75 certificate. He feels fortunate to have obtained the position at the end of June, 2013. Now that he's an assistant principal he’s excited because there are good opportunities for him Hubbard. He explained to me that in order to be a principal, he needs to be an assistant principal in the first place. Mr. Newman hopes to learn from being an assistant principal in order for him to become a principal one day. Right now, he wants to take it slow and work with Ms. Wiley to improve Hubbard. His role involves assisting with teacher development in curriculum and instruction. He supports Mrs. Wiley with projects that are received by the school in order to increase student learning and achievement. His job is to also support the students by learning about their needs and making sure they follow school rules. He wants to keep expanding college opportunities for students. He said, "Only a bit of students enroll in college. I'd like to make sure to have the right alignment and curriculum for them."He wants Hubbard’s environment to be safe and well maintained. Mr. Newman said, “Hubbard is known or being a respectful school. I’d like to insure that everyone in Hubbard is treated the same, and that we keep that reputation as it is.”
