Mr. Olsen is standing next to the District 108 welcome sign welcoming you to EJHS. |
Have you ever wondered about how an assistant principal started out? Well we did, so we did some research and interviewed our assistant principal and found out he started off with a couple of odd jobs. Then he started to work his way up. |
Mr. Olsen is thinking of making a landscaping committee. |

did you get interested in your job?
A: “I was working in a summer camp with kids from the age of 6-12 years old.” 2. Q: Why did you give up teaching? A: “I wanted to try something new and work with more kids and staff.” 3. Q: What is your favorite sport? Why? A: "Basketball, because it's intertaining." 4. Q: Where did you work before you became a teacher? A: “I worked at summer camps.” 5. Q: How do you like being a junior high assistant principal? A: “ I think it is enjoyable, keeps me busy, and I am looking forward to meeting different kids. 6.

A: “Whenever I get tired of teaching.” 8. Q: What is the most unusual job you have had? Why? A: “When I was washing cars for the money.” 9. Q: What is your goal as an assistant principal in school? A: “ In every way to become successful and have kids get involved with sports, hobbies and meet new people.” 10. Q: Do you ever want to become a principal? Why?

Q: What can we do to improve our school system? A: “We need to get more parents involved and we need to get the community involved either way.” 14. Q: What is your opinion on all year-round school?

Q: Do you know if they’re planning on bringing all year-round school to District 108? A : “Not that I know of.” 16. Q: What is the biggest challenge for you at Edison? A: “It’s to get to know all the kids whether it would be in the classroom or out.” 17. Q: How is it different being an assistant principal then a teacher? A: “More disciplinary action, not grading papers and seeing more kids, not just the ones in my old class.” We give a special thanks to Mr. Olsen for being nice and letting us interview him on such short notice.
