We are so lucky to have these two amazing principals!! Thank you both for all you do for our students!!! ❤️ ❤️

❤️ Celebrating Our Leaders During National Principals Month! ❤️

We couldn’t let National Principals Month pass without recognizing two incredible women who make Goodman Middle School what it is.

Stephanie Strader, Principal, and Jayme Lenker, Assistant Principal — you are so much more than your titles. You are leaders who show up every day with grace, compassion, grit, and a whole lot of humor.

Your commitment to our students and staff is unmatched. You lead with purpose and intentionality, and you work tirelessly to build and foster a culture at GMS where people feel valued, supported, connected, and proud to be part of Roadrunner Nation. 🐦❤️

You believe in our students. You believe in our staff. You celebrate the wins, encourage us through the hard days, have the difficult conversations when they are needed, and somehow manage to keep us laughing along the way. And behind the scenes, you put in countless hours doing the things that many people never see — all because you care deeply about this school and the people in it.

Stephanie and Jayme, THANK YOU.
Thank you for your leadership.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for the countless hours and all the big and little things you do each and every day.

We are incredibly blessed to have you both leading Goodman Middle School. Our school is better because of you, and we are grateful to call you ours. ❤️

Happy National Principals Month, Stephanie & Jayme!
We appreciate you more than you know! 🐦❤️
