MASSP’s own, William Scaletta, principal of Lakeshore High School Stevensville, MI, has been elected to the prestigious NASSP Board of Directors at the NASSP Annual Convention in San Antonio, TX this February. Bill (preferred) will serve a four-year term representing Region 4, which includes Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Wisconsin, as well as Michigan.

“I feel like I have a new jumpstart on my career,” Bill said of the commitment that will keep him in the principal’s chair for four more years. “People are coming up to me saying ‘I’m glad you’re staying.’ It’s a great feeling knowing that people want you to stay.”

Bill said that he is looking forward to having the opportunity to represent Michigan and the other states in having a voice in the legislation that is coming out of Washington, DC. He said as a Board member he will have a first hand opportunity to represent principals in advocating for elimination of unfunded legislative mandates and he will work hard to eliminate the surprise legislation that comes out of the Capitol.

Bill will also be an advocate for NASSP’s goals, which include:

1. Increase membership of NASSP
2. Enhance leadership growth opportunities for middle level and high school principals and assistant principals using a variety of media.
3. Promote education policies that enhance middle level and high school leadership for student success.
4. Expand and enhance student programs and their ability to serve student leaders and advisers.

Bill is no stranger to Board leadership. He served on the MASSP Board of Directors in 1994-1996, 2001-04, and 2007-2009 and was the MASSP President in 2002. Bill has been a member of MASSP since 1979. Bill has been a member of NASSP for 23 years.
