From Illinois High School Principal of the Year to one of three National Principal of the Year finalists, Jack Baldermann has been a passionate educational leader for more than 30 years. Born and raised in Chicago, he learned the value of collaboration and hard work from a young age, lessons that he carries with him to this day as principal of Westmont High School and a Solution Tree PLC at Work® expert.

 Follow his journey from high school basketball benchwarmer to principal of one of the highest-performing PLCs around the globe. Listen as he shares his love of sports and music, what life has taught him about teamwork, and how Westmont students turned a popular internet meme into their very own “Sentinel Baby.”
