"Here within the walls of this public school is where the American dream can really begin for people." 

That's why Mr. Balcom believes in the power of public education. 

Mr. Nate Balcom, Principal at Newell Elementary School, joins The GIPS Cast to share his committment to cultivating a positive culture for all – students, staff, and families.  He shares his experience going from Media Integration Specialists to a Building Principal.  Balcom also reflects on how staff and students came together after losing their school playground to an unfortunate fire.  And what the honor of being named 2024 GIPS Administrator of the Year means to him. 

Because it's all about doing what we can every day to bring our best for our students.
