Jason Griffin is the Wells Fargo North Carolina Principal of the Year for 2017. Griffin joined the faculty at Hertford Grammar in 2011 as a third-grade teacher and served as dean of students before being named principal. We are honored to have Griffin present earlier this year at Ocracoke. EdNC.org published an article from Griffin today with advice to principals for this year.
"I am proud of our team and believing in our dream. We are now a “B” school and on our way to an “A!” Moving a school forward requires a clear vision and a team of educators who will stand beside you throughout the year. I encourage educators across our state and nation to use every challenge as a learning opportunity, and you will see change in the performance of your school!" Griffin writes.
