Carradine retires after 27 years of working within David Douglas

As a major part of the selection procedure, students were invited to answer survey questions in order to involve student input in to the principal selection. The survey, sent out to advisories, asked students what top five qualities students look for in a principal, what focus areas our upcoming principal should prioritize, and how important specific areas of responsibility are for the principal. The student responses are designed to help select a proper fitting principal for the upcoming year. All students are encouraged to partake in the survey. 

Teachers and staff are also a crucial part of the significant election as they may volunteer to be part of the actual interview process. The interviews begin Feb. 20, and the second round of interviews begin on the 26. The final interview lies on March 4 with the principal being named shortly after on the 14th. The principal’s duties begin on July 1. 

“My administrative team, our school leadership team, and David Douglas staff have an excellent tradition of valuing education for students, and this rich tradition will continue.” said Carradine.
