Someone who's genuinely excited to be doing their work. As students we are so much more engaged and excited when admin are too. When staff obviously care, we feel like we are actually going to be listened to and valued.

forming connections with students. like "lunches with the principle" or something like that. a way that students can have direct contact with their principle and feel like its someone they can bring issues and ideas to.

Even if they don't agree, just being open to the opinions of the students and making sure that that is their focus. Making sure that they think about all the aspects of the school, all the opinions, and the general sentiment of the student body; not just direction from parents and staff.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone who can reach out and relate to students. Being able to try to understand our thoughts about the school as well as our mental health and stress levels.

I would like to see a principal who makes an effort to get to know their students and support them at events,  who looks at the big picture instead of giving into little complaints,  who has faith in the students and is willing to stick up for them and listen to their ideas, and someone who is personable and easy to approach with questions/concerns. Also someone who is willing to listen to changes and improvements that students have in mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Good skills and traits that I would like to see in the new principle would be someone who is relatable/understanding and has very sharp communication skills.

# data[].attributes.body
someone who is very focused on the voices and needs of their students. someone who can to the best of their ability, operate under parent pressure and not be too susceptible to outside politics but rather is more focused on how they can positively impact their students.

Someone who is very compassionate and able to connect with students well. Also someone who has lots of spirit and supports Costa in as many ways possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Somebody who is relatable to students and someone who has the right mix of age and experience. Also someone who is a good communicator who is active in interacting with the Costa community and the student body. Also something more personal for me is a principal who prioritizes special education as I have a younger brother with autism who will one day go to Costa. I know first hand that special education within the district has been neglected in the past and I think having a principal who is involved would be very beneficial.

At my old school, my principal wasn't as easygoing as Dr. Dale. Dr. Dale is a kind of principal that is sympathetic and is a principal that meets all of the students needs. We need someone that can connect not only to the students but to the parents and staff and be more connected to the school.

making sure that we're combatting sexual harassment within the school even if it seems relatively minor, it's an issue a lot of students relate to but don't often report

# data[].attributes.body
Growing support systems within in the school not just for those struggling the most, but for everyone. Making sure to create a learning environment where staff are not putting unnecessary stress on students

# data[].attributes.body
Having better communication as a whole when it comes to the new principle or the teachers would be very beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
Communication between students, teachers, and other members of the school staff. Also creating a system that limits/alleviates student stress would go a long way towards creating a better environment. Many students have schooldays that are full of tests all scheduled on the same day.

Maybe to focus on others that may/may not be struggling on the parts of racism in school, like feeling that they don't belong.

# data[].attributes.body
Students would love to see more communication between students and staff.

# data[].attributes.body
Making sure we are protecting all students and making sure they feel like they are welcome at costa. Focusing on teaching students acceptance of others is something I think we can greater emphasize.

# data[].attributes.body
students would love to see a greater emphasis on diversity equity and inclusion. whether that be assemblies, equity training, or diverse curriculum. people of color want to feel represented and welcome on our campus. creating that welcoming environment regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion etc. should be just as important as the curriculum taught in classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I think communication among all staff at Costa would improve life at Costa. I've heard from students often that a lot of events/tests/activities conflict with each other creating stress. This could also mean staff responding to emails and keeping students updated on what is going on.

The inclusiveness that we see all over campus is definitely a strong aspect to our school. Also the opportunities we have outside of school such as internships. To that point I think the CCC is a strong suit at costa and helps many kids find their path.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to see continued value of students opinions on their education and other issues within the school.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm a sophomore who just transferred into Costa but so far in my time on campus I've really enjoyed the environment and people have been very welcoming.

# data[].attributes.body
its super important that students can have a voice in their education. i think thats something that we've focused on more this year

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to see Mira Costa continue to offer so many opportunities for their students. I have always felt that students have the chance to be a part of any club/organization you can imagine and are also free to create their own. I think this makes Costa feel like a welcoming space for students, and an nice place to share their ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
At Mira Costa, I like how there are ways that students can cooperate with each other including the part that there are many clubs at Mira Costa and there are so many people who are kind and thoughtful. This really shows what a good community we have.

# data[].attributes.body
At Mira Costa something that is working that I would like to continue to see is the amount of opportunities that we have. As well as the spirit and events that are held at Costa.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that we're focusing more on the students' health and well being. Supporting students makes the campus so much better and helps so much.

What is working at Mira Costa that you would like to see continue?
