Meeting the expectations of the HCS community is one that Mr. Schneckenburger is well prepared to meet. He has 18 years in public education and has experienced first hand the impact educators have on students’ lives.  When asked about becoming the next HCS Secondary Principal, Schneckenburger commented, “I am very excited and feel fortunate to be joining such a proud school district. I look forward to developing a deep understanding of HCS and I am eager to work with the students, staff, and community as we look to continue to improve outcomes.  During the interview process I was consistently impressed with the optimism demonstrated by those I met and encouraged as this is certainly an important factor in adjusting to change. Preparations are currently underway and come January, I have the utmost confidence we’ll be able to hit the ground running on a continued path of growth. Go Bulldogs!”
