All after-school extracurricular activities were cancelled yesterday at NV for a big faculty meeting. At first, I thought it was to bring them up to date on the MV situation, but I heard from a couple of other parents that it was to announce the new principal. No word on who it might be however.  |

It's someone from outside the district. He is coming from one of the Glenbard E,N, or south schools (District 88 I think).

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.
