Reported by 204-info@ipsd.org on 4/11/08
Indian Prairie School District 204 administrators named Robert McBride as principal for Neuqua Valley High School. He will replace Dr. Michael Popp who was named the district's director for school improvement.
McBride has amassed nearly 19 years of experience in Illinois high school public education. He began his teaching career as an English teacher at Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1989. More recently, he has held administrative positions with Glenbard East High School where he spent two years as assistant principal for instruction and the past three years as high school principal.
McBride has degrees in English Language and Literature from Northwestern University and a graduate degree in Teaching and Curriculum from Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is slated to complete his doctorate in education from Loyola University of Chicago this December.
According to Dr. Stephen Daeschner, Indian Prairie Superintendent, “Bob is a great choice for us as he is an experienced administrator who has orchestrated excellent achievement gains as principal at Glenbard East. With degrees from Northwestern and Harvard, he is someone who is not only well educated, but he also carries a very strong understanding of classroom pedagogy and instruction.”
McBride will begin his new role as Neuqua Valley High School principal on July 1, 2008.
