QUOTE FOR THE PRINCIPAL'S JOURNEY
Dr. John Faulkenberry
Dr. Faulkenberry is retiring after 30 years serving public schools. The last 16 years, he has been the principal at Lee's Summit HS. John has served on the MoASSP Board of Directors since 2006. He was board president in 2008 and has served as Missouri's NASSP State Coordinator for the past six years. "John has left a legacy not only with Lee's Summitt community, but he has also been an unwavering advocate for MoASSP for many years. "All the best to our friend, colleague and consummate professional," comments Clark Mershon, Executive Director.
Update From the Executive Director
Welcome to July 4th Eve
Tomorrow and this weekend are one of my favorite times of the year as we celebrate the founding of our great nation 242 years ago. May this be a special time for you too as you celebrate Independence Day with family and friends.
Messenger on Vacation
This issue of the Messenger will be the last one for a few weeks. The Marshall Memo and other communications from the MoASSP office will continue each week.
New Principals Conference

MoASSP Board of Directors Summer Meeting/Retreat
A couple of weeks ago, MoASSP Board of Directors along with Regional Presidents convened at the Holiday Inn East for the summer meeting/retreat. I have included agendas for both days. The work was productive, conversations were meaningful, and we celebrated milestones of a couple of board members. The strategic plan and resolutions were reviewed, and suggestions were suggested. We will bring the proposed changes to the 85th Annual Fall Conference at the general meeting. President Ed Gettemeier, Principal at Hardin MS, presided over day 1 and President-Elect, Marc Spunaugle, Principal at Lincoln HS, presided over day 2. We appreciated Ed's leadership this past year and look forward to Marc stepping into the role as president. I have included several pictures of our meeting/retreat below.
