Dr. Eric Minus speaks to JFK staff

June 14 — Kennedy staffers met their new principal, Dr. Eric Minus, this afternoon in the Media Center. Dr. Minus comes to Kennedy from Key Middle School where his leadership earned one of The Washington Post’s Distinguished Educational Leadership Awards in April.

His remarks to the staff included his passion for educational leadership, high standards for all students and of his excitement at this new opportunity at Kennedy. He will be officially on site July 1 but will be back and forth between schools until then.

Dr. Minus replaces Thomas Anderson who left Kennedy in March to open a southside Chicago school. Ruth Green has served as Acting Principal in the interim. Ms. Green will be moving to Newport Mill Middle School in July as assistant principal there.
