Summary
At a Mesquite ISD meeting public comment, a staff member lauded Seabourn principal Mrs. Kern as "very deserving" of Principal of the Year recognition and praised Mesquite High principal Mr. Johnson for perseverance, an open-door policy and leadership that empowers staff.
A staff member at Mesquite ISD used public comment time to praise two campus leaders, saying Seabourn principal Mrs. Kern is "very deserving of this recognition" and calling her "the definition of a servant leader." The speaker said Kern "shows up for our staff, our students, and families in ways that go beyond her title" and that the principal "really deserves it."
The staff member added that Seabourn benefits from Kern's emphasis on positivity and creative approaches, saying she "isn't afraid to think outside of the box to ensure that Seabourn is the Disney World of Mesquite ISD" and that staff and students show visible pride in the campus. "It was about time for her to be principal of the year," the staff member said.
The same commenter also praised Mesquite High School principal Mr. Johnson, asserting he "deserves this award because he is a person of perseverance. He's honest. He really truly listens and he has an open door policy which we really appreciate." The staff member said Johnson "leads with clarity, consistency, and he has genuine care for students and staff," and described his work as setting a high standard and empowering teachers.
