🐯PRINCIPAL SPOTLIGHT | CHAD FOSTER 🐯

October is National Principals Month, and we're celebrating the dedicated leaders who make a difference across Guymon Public Schools every day!

Today, we're recognizing Chad Foster, Principal of Academy Elementary School! Mr. Foster has spent 14 years in education, including the last seven with Guymon Public Schools!

Mr. Foster originally came to Guymon to coach football, but it was the people and relationships he built that convinced him this was the place for him.

One thing he's especially proud of is the hard work students and staff have put into the district's literacy initiative. His favorite school tradition is Academy's Field Day, where students get to have fun, compete, and make memories together!

When asked what he hopes students remember about their time at Academy, Mr. Foster shared that he wants them to remember enjoying learning, looking forward to coming to school, and knowing they had someone they could always count on.

✨ A Few Fun Facts About Mr. Foster:

🏈 Favorite way to unwind: Watching sports and working out

πŸ“Ί Favorite TV show: Chicago Fire

🎬 Favorite movie: Love & Basketball

πŸ₯€ Go-to Sonic drink: Peach-Mango Water with lime

β˜• Principal Starter Pack: Coffee and any kind of zero-sugar soda!

🏫 If he could switch jobs for a day: PE teacher! He previously taught PE at Academy and loved it.

πŸ’¬ You know you're a principal when... "You enjoy dealing with chaos and helping people."

Thank you, Mr. Foster, for your dedication to Guymon Academy and the students and staff you serve! Your commitment to making school a place where students feel supported and enjoy learning makes a difference every day.
