Dear Students, Staff, and Families,

            For the past two years, I have had the honor of being the assistant principal at Glassboro High School and have had the privilege of building relationships with the wonderful community here.  The pride that Glassboro residents have in its history and heritage is evident and contagious.

            I began my teaching career in 2002 at Joseph D. Sharp Elementary School in the Cherry Hill Public School District.  During my eight years there, I helped create our Student Ambassador Program, which tied directly to our Character Education curriculum and our core values as an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB/PYP) School.  I was an active member of our building-level leadership team and was trained in the IB/PYP program in order to turnkey training to our faculty.  I also participated in the district-level Cultural Competency Committee when it was first created over a decade ago.  After taking some time off to raise my children, I returned to teach at Helen L. Beeler School in the Evesham Township School District in 2017.  While there, I took on a variety of leadership roles which included Responsive Classroom Building Facilitator, Gifted and Talented Coordinator, School Improvement Panel, School Culture and Climate Committee, the District Re-Entry Committee, School Pandemic Response Team, I&RS, Math and ELA Curriculum Revision Team, and Liasion Committee.  I completed my Master of Arts in School Administration in May of 2021 from Rowan University and began my administrative journey here at Glassboro High School in August of 2021.

             My  two daughters, Sophia and Taylor, play soccer both in and out of school, are involved in track and field as well as the music programs at both Beck Middle School and Cherry Hill High School East.  As a family, we enjoy traveling (especially to Colorado, where we have family), hiking, watching movies together, and reading.  We also have four dogs: Tucker (a labrador retriever), Piper (a border collie), Zella (half corgi, half Australian Shepherd), and Moses (mini Aussie Shepherd) as well as two cats:  Phineas and Sierra.  One could say without a doubt that we love animals!

            Words cannot fully express how excited I am to work in partnership with you to help our students reach their fullest potential.  What particularly drew me to this district is the beautiful tapestry of cultures and ethnicities that make up our community.  This diversity of perspectives, voices, and experiences is what makes our school and district exceptional, and together, we will support our children in achieving their dreams and continue a tradition of excellence in Glassboro.

            Warmly,         

            Yuna Park
