-Passionate teachers who care deeply and work hard!
-Lots of incredible access to materials, facilities, etc.
-Consistent collaboration time for teachers and, in general, Office Hours (though we could help teach students how to utilize this time more and/or hold them more accountable to how they use this time)
-Options! Students have SO MANY options for courses, and teachers have options when it comes to curriculum and style. This flexibility allows for personalized learning experiences
-A focus on Social Emotional Wellness (though I think clearer vision and follow through would help)

MCHS should focus on...
-Celebrating diversity in a consistent, equitable way (for example, ensuring important assemblies are attended and that applicable voices are centered in conversations)
-Messaging out the importance of empathy, perseverance, integrity, etc through ACTIONS and not just words. We can still celebrate other achievements, but how are we directly and indirectly teaching students that their character is important?
-Addressing issues of access and equity within our programs
-Reviewing outdated practices, curriculum, expectations, systems, etc. that no longer serve as effective in this time and finding inventive and impactful solutions instead
-Finding ways to redefine success beyond GPA, Ivy Leagues, future income

# data[].attributes.body
-Strong communicator (timely, transparent, kind, etc.)
-Someone who follows through on promises; ACTIONS that follow their words (reliable, thorough)
-Someone who supports teachers and has our backs, even if/especially when there is external pressure
-Someone who follows up on projects and offers consistent support (as opposed to delegating and disappearing)
-Experience within realms such as diversity, team building, public speaking, etc. who can confidently and accurately tackle tough, needed discussions
-Someone who is honest, transparent, and trustworthy

I would like to see a principal with a vision for unifying students and staff around a variety of issues that pertain to climate change and climate justice. These are key issues for young people, who have more at stake in the future of the planet than any of us. How can we use curricular and extracurricular opportunities to build just and resilient futures for all people in a way that embraces ecological responsibility and reciprocity?

I’d like to see a deep sustained vision that had actionable goals that go beyond just a surface level—it feels like often we do things for perception than for lasting progress. I’d like to see collaboration be focused on long term goals where we are encouraged to work in cross-disciplinary ways for shared skills and goals. Faculty meetings that connect to those goals consistently and in meaningful ways.

It has perennially been an academic community with very solid vision, by which I mean imagining large- and small-scale plans for the future, such as the increasing attention that social-emotional wellness is receiving and the continuous devotion to making ALL students find a place in the Costa community. The execution of such ideas has not always been ideal nor have some ever been completed to fruition, but I have always been impressed by the ideas and the intentions that motivate them. Lots of well-intentioned students, faculty, and administrators.
