October is Principal Appreciation Month, a time to honor and celebrate the leaders who make a difference in our schools every day. At CICS Irving Park, we are so grateful to have a principal like JW Kuebler! Mr. Kuebler has been leading the way at CICS Irving Park for the past eight years, and his passion for education and dedication to student success has shaped our school community.
Mr. Kuebler believes that learning is a fundamental human right and should be pursued as such. This belief drives his mission to ensure that CICS Irving Park is a safe, joyful environment where every student can achieve grade-level standards and beyond. The culture of listening and collaboration he’s cultivated within the school community is part of the reason CICS Irving Park has been able to see student growth and achievement soar!
Mr. Kuebler is deeply committed to lifelong learning, continuing to grow and develop as a leader through a fellowship with Accelerate Institute, and recently being named as the charter school representative for the Chicago Public Schools Principal Advisory Board!
Mr. Kuebler is excited about the future of CICS Irving Park, aiming for huge gains in math and reading as he continues to ensure that a culture of learning is paramount in every classroom. He believes that by including teachers, students, and families in the process, the school will overcome any challenges and achieve remarkable success. That’s why providing student, parent, and educator voice and agency in setting and achieving goals has been a critical component to his leadership style.
As we celebrate Principal Appreciation Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Kuebler for his unwavering commitment to our students, staff, and families. Thank you, Mr. Kuebler, for being a guiding light and an inspiration to us all. Happy Principal Appreciation Month!
