Leadership was asked to nominate a principal who exemplifies our Student Choice mission. Someone who not only supports the success of students, staff, and the broader community, but also leads with purpose, vision, and a drive to make things better for everyone we serve.
This year’s recipient received multiple heartfelt nominations. Here are just a few highlights shared by her peers:
“She embodies the qualities of an exceptional leader. Her dedication to creating a welcoming and supportive environment, her intentional approach to professional development, and her proactive focus on student well-being make her truly exemplary.”
“She’s always generous with her ideas, supportive in her approach, and genuinely invested in our shared success.”
“She asks thoughtful questions that challenge us to think more critically about our systems and practices. She consistently shows up with a kind heart, checking in, offering support, and simply being present when it matters most.”
It is clear that her leadership leaves a lasting impact on those around her.
Please join us in congratulating our 2025 M.E.G.A. principal of the year, our Glendale principal, Tamara Yazzie.
