Frost is new principal of Potter Jr. High School

FALLBROOK – Brian Frost is serving his first year as principal at Potter Jr. High School.

Frost, who has worked in education since 1999, said, "I have taught every grade level from 7th through 12th, focusing on both language arts and social sciences."

Prior to coming to Potter, Frost was assistant principal at San Onofre School (also in FUESD) on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.

"While there, we advanced our students’ technological proficiency, maintained a core focus on academics, and developed leadership skills through the Seven Habits (Covey program)," said Frost. "I plan to continue a focus on these areas as our core values, while also developing some signature practices at Potter. I look forward to a wonderful year of growth and learning opportunities with Potter’s Braves."

Frost's plans for Potter include three focused goals, he said.

"First is to expand upon the already stellar teaching practices in order to increase student engagement and access to higher order learning skills for students," he said. "All students will receive binders this year and use leadership time to organize them. Second is to further develop the use of educational technology in the classrooms and at home. Third is to provide more leadership opportunities to the students through our existing Leader in Me program. We use this program to instill the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens; the goal of which is to create more opportunities for teens to connect with school and develop traits of responsibility."
