Help lead a 5-year strategic planning process and shape the next chapter for Bangor High School students, staff, and community.

We're launching a bold 5-year strategic planning process — and looking for an innovative, student-centered leader ready to help write that next chapter for Bangor High School. This is more than a building-leadership role: it's a chance to reimagine what's possible for our students, drive real gains in graduation rates, and build a school culture where every student is known, engaged, and set up to succeed.

LOCATION: Bangor High School. SCHEDULE: Full-Time. REPORTS TO: Superintendent, Bangor, Maine (Year-Round of Schools).

• Improving graduation & on-time completion rates
• Reducing chronic absenteeism through proactive engagement
• Restorative, equity-centered approaches to discipline & reducing suspensions
• Instructional leadership, staff supervision & evaluation
• Budget, operations & school climate

We're seeking someone who:

• Has a track record of improving graduation outcomes and student engagement
• Leads with data — turning attendance and discipline trends into action
• Believes in restorative, relationship-based approaches over punitive ones
• Builds trust across students, staff, families, and community partners
• Thinks strategically and can lead a school through multi-year change
• Communicates with clarity, warmth, and transparency

Qualifications
