Every year, the Minnesota Association of International Baccalaureate World Schools awards one outstanding school administrator or leader with the MNIB Leadership Award. The award recipient is nominated by a colleague for being a leader who stands out as someone who helps promote and sustain the MNIB program in their school.
This year the recipient of the award was Dr. Winston Tucker, the principal of Highland Park Senior High.
His nominating colleague said about him, "When it comes to supporting the IB in Saint Paul, Dr. Winston Tucker takes the lead, not only at Highland Park, but in the three IB high schools in our district. He has been a long-time advocate for our teachers at Highland and is dedicated to promoting our IB program with students, teachers, support staff and our larger family community. Dr Tucker communicates regularly with our partner school (Highland Park Middle School) to promote a fluid 6-12 program. He really understands that as an international IB school, we don’t put our program ‘on the back burner,’ but showcase this valuable asset as much as possible."
Congratulations, Dr. Tucker for this outstanding achievement!
