Opportunities for Growth:

As the Creighton Prep community looks toward our 150th anniversary and beyond, we recognize the tremendous opportunity within a faculty and staff who are both highly qualified and deeply talented. Creighton Prep is well-positioned to build upon its strengths to meet the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the next generation of students.

The principal will lead faculty, staff and administrators as we continue to: 

• Expand our capacity to offer academic and emotional support to our students. The creation of a student support services department has vastly enhanced Prep's ability to offer care for the whole student. The next principal will have the opportunity to build on that momentum, helping all faculty and staff develop competencies and practices that respond to differentiated student learning needs and support emotional well-being.
• Enhance a culture of belonging and inclusion. Creighton Prep has undergone significant growth in both racial and socioeconomic diversity. New programming and initiatives have been implemented in the last two years to create a school climate in which all students feel that they are a part of Creighton Prep, and that Creighton Prep is a part of them. The next principal will have the opportunity to capitalize on these programs and initiatives, helping a mission-oriented faculty and staff build the cultural competencies necessary to advance culture and belonging at Creighton Prep.
• Collaborate across the institution to encourage and support innovative teaching and learning. In a rapidly-changing educational environment, the next principal will have the opportunity to inspire a community of skilled educators and foster a spirit of collaboration and mission-driven excellence so that Creighton Prep continues to be a regional and national leader, and an innovator in curriculum, instruction and student formation.
