Principal Justmann Named IHSPA Administrator of the Year

The Iowa High School Press Association (IHSPA) has named Principal Cary Justmann of Waukee High School as Administrator of the Year. The award is presented annually at the IHSPA fall conferences to an outstanding school administrator to acknowledge their support of journalism education within their school or district. Angela Hogan, an English and journalism teacher at Waukee High School, nominated Principal Justmann.

“I nominated Cary because he always supports our student journalists. He is accessible to them when they need interviews and understands they are still learning. Cary ensures our publications class has the resources needed — materials for our newsroom, experiences for students, or professional development opportunities. Our staff appreciates him so much, and we are happy he was recognized by the Iowa High School Press Association,” Hogan says.

Hogan and Northwest publications teacher Matt Blumberg introduced Principal Justmann at an award luncheon at the IHSPA conference on October 20.

Way to go, Principal Justmann!
