Leading by Example: Assistant Principal Goes Above and Beyond for Student Success

Posted on

At JATC South, commitment to student success is at the heart of everything they do, and Assistant Principal Stewart Hudnall exemplifies just that. In a recent inspiring act, he stepped in to support aspiring cosmetologists in the hair design program when they faced client cancellations. Without hesitation, he allowed a student to cut and bleach his hair, enabling her to earn essential hours toward her cosmetology license.

But Mr. Hudnall didn’t stop there! When other students encountered similar challenges, he eagerly volunteered again, letting one student give him a stunning leopard-print hairstyle that showcased their creative talents. And as if that weren’t enough, he welcomed the nail tech students to give his nails a fabulous makeover with fun star designs.

Through these selfless acts, Mr. Hudnall not only provides valuable hands-on experience for the students but also demonstrates his unwavering commitment to their educational journey. A big thank you to Mr. Hudnall for his incredible support, being a good sport, and dedication to student success!
