Administration

 

 

I joined the Glenwood staff in January 2017.  I began my career in education as a science teacher at Smith Middle School here in Chapel Hill.  While there I taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade Science and served as the Instructional Technology Facilitator (ITF).  I also had the pleasure of coaching cross country and ultimate frisbee for a number of years.  I received both my BA in Middle Grades Science and Masters of School Administration degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

 

 

 

Hello! My name is Jon Howes and I am the Principal Intern for the 2022-2023 school year at Glenwood! I am in my second and final year earning a Masters in School Administration from UNC-Chapel Hill. Previous to this school year, I spent the past 7 years teaching math at Smith Middle School. Throughout this year I will be shadowing Mr. Bennett & Mr. Solano, working closely with teachers & staff, and learning the ins and outs of being a school administrator. Just like there are student-teachers, there are also student-principals! I actually grew up in Chapel Hill and am a proud product of CHCCS! I earned my undergraduate degree from Appalachian State before moving back to Chapel Hill. While at App State, I was also a member of the track & field program and competed in shot put, discus, hammer throw, and weight throw. Outside of school, I love doing anything outdoors including hiking, camping, and paddling! I love to spend time with my wife, Gracie, and our “pandemic-puppy,” Coach. I look forward to working with and learning from all of our InvestiGators this school year!
