Position Opening for the 2014-15 School Year
Overview of E.L. Haynes
E.L. Haynes Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. seeks an Elementary School Principal to join a first-rate team at a school that is nationally recognized as a Center for Excellence. The next elementary school principal will take an excellent program and make it the exemplar for the city and the nation.
The school currently serves over 1,000 students from Pre-K through Grade 11, and will continue to grow to serve more than 1,100 students through Grade 12.

E.L. Haynes provides a rigorous, college-preparatory education, typically reserved for an elite few, to students from all backgrounds in our nation's capital.
As a member of the Leadership Team, the Elementary School Principal will have a unique opportunity to lead the school's implementation and execution of key strategies to achieve outstanding results for all students. S/he will be part of a dynamic, collaborative organization that has developed a culture of excellence and entrepreneurship. In addition, s/he will impact education beyond the school's walls as part of E.L. Haynes' Broader Impact efforts. These systemic reform initiatives include shaping policy, developing human capital, convening practitioners, and launching innovation both locally and nationally.
