ROOPA MIDHA
New Delhi
Summary
With 19 years of dedicated experience in education, I serve as a Principal, committed to fostering holistic well-being and academic success. I prioritize curriculum development, staff growth, and admissions management, while maintaining an open-door policy for parents and students. I also initiated the POCSO committee to ensure student safety.
A core tenet of my leadership is student empowerment and experiential learning. This was exemplified when I entrusted Class XI students with organizing the School Diwali Fest, where they independently managed all aspects, from stalls to vendors, showcasing their capabilities and the power of hands-on learning. My leadership consistently demonstrates a strong commitment to educational innovation and building robust relationships within the school community.
