BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard Public Schools congratulates Rachad Wilson, of Endeavour Elementary Magnet as the recipient of this year’s Principal Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership, and Meara Trine, of Jackson Middle as the recipient of the Outstanding Assistant Principal Achievement Award for the 2015-16 school year.

The Principal Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership and the Outstanding Assistant Principal Achievement Award were established in 1988 to recognize exemplary principals and assistant principals for their contributions to their schools and communities.

The programs honor principals and assistant principals that have spearheaded initiatives to increase student performance, promote safe learning environments, and establish partnerships with parents and community members.

Wilson began his teaching career with BPS at Endeavour Elementary Magnet in 2002 and moved on to Merritt Island High School in 2003. He became an Assistant Principal at Cocoa High School in 2007, and he was appointed principal at Endeavour Elementary Magnet in 2011. Since becoming principal, Wilson has lead the school with an emphasis on student learning as a priority.

As a leader, Wilson strives to reach every teacher, every day, as he recognizes the impact of his work with teachers and the children they serve. In his nomination award, Wilson was attributed with creating “an environment that is based on respect, achievable goals, and personal efficacy, which ultimately steadily increases achievement gains.”

Wilson will represent BPS at the state level competition for Florida’s Principal of the Year.
