It's the Principal: Q&A with Lutheran North's John Reincke

To honor all the principals who are also our pals, the U.S. Senate has declared the month of October to be National Principals Month.

In Macomb Township alone, this includes more than 50 principals and assistant principals who oversee the area's public and private schools.

While each principal may have his or her own leadership technique, all have a vision of progress and goal of success for their school community. Patch recently asked John Reincke, principal of , to share his thoughts on these topics and others.
