Newton USD 373
NEWTON, Kan. — Chisholm Middle School Assistant Principal, Chad Nulik, has been named 2023-2024 Kansas Assistant Principal of the Year. Nulik has been with USD 373 at Chisholm since August 2020. He received the news on Friday morning at school along with Chisholm and USD 373 staff and his family.
"Chad Nulik has been a vital part of the positive culture that we have worked to establish at Chisholm Middle School," Principal Joey Menninga said. "He knows how to handle difficult situations, challenges students and staff to be their best, but also knows when they need encouragement and support. He is a big reason why so many in the community are saying positive things about Chisholm Middle School."
Nulik is known for being student-centered and teacher-friendly. “He is a master at developing positive relationships with students and has been able to help many students through difficult behaviors and struggles because of the connections he has made,” part of his nomination read.
Another nominator credited Nulik’s dedication for making the school a better place, tacking behaviors and In-School Suspension procedures that led to positive impacts on student behaviors.
“He brings a tenacity to the position through which he attacks problems with the intention of making situations better for students and staff," Superintendent Fred Van Ranken said. "He also brings that same approach to learning new things that will not only help him, but also support student learning. I am very thankful to have Chad on the USD 373 administrative staff. He is very deserving of this award."
Congratulations to Mr. Nulik!
