[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, curious what others with more experience think about the new ATS principal's background (see below)?  I guess I'm surprised someone who started their professional experience in 2011 would already be a principal, but this probably just reflects that I'm an old and have how no idea how quickly school administrators move up.

The School Board named Sam Podbelski as the new Principal of ATS. Podbelski began his career as a special education teacher at Durfee High School in Fall River, Mass in 2011. During his time in Fall River, he was a mentor teacher, class advisor, and fencing coach. In 2015, Sam moved to Boston to work as an English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher at Brooke Charter School’s East Boston K-8 campus. Later, he was selected to be a founding member at Brooke’s new high school serving as a humanities teacher and mentor teacher. In 2018, Podbelski was accepted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s School Leadership Program where he received his Ed.M. in Educational Administration. After earning his masters, Podbelski joined the Boston Public Schools as the Director of Instruction/Vice-Principal at the Henderson K-12 Inclusion School until being appointed as interim principal of the school during the 2021-22 school year. Podbelski holds a B.A. in both education and history from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. His appointment begins July 1.[/quote]
