Ballard High School principal (and BHS grad) Phil Brockman is leaving the school for a new position within the district. He sent this email out to parents:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The rumors are true. I will be leaving the Principalship at Ballard High to become an Executive Director of Schools. This was a very difficult decision for me because I love my job and the Ballard Community. These past six years have been an amazing experience and the most rewarding in my 27 years with the Seattle Public Schools. I plan to stay engaged with Ballard High School, so don’t be surprised if you see me at concerts, athletic events, or just walking the halls of BHS. Ballard High will be in good hands with Keven Wynkoop (third generation Ballard graduate), our new Head Beaver. I am personally very pleased that he will be our new principal, so please congratulate and welcome him in his new position.
It has been an honor and a privilege to be the Head Beaver and as always,
It Is Great To Be A Beaver!
Phil Brockman
Kevin Wynkoop is currently one of the assistant principals at the school and will be assigned as interim principal for now, Teresa Wippel with Seattle Public Schools tells us.
