One of the most significant and difficult events in the Haifa education system this year was the sudden passing of Avi Ziegler (z"l), the principal of the new school in the new district. Ziegler, a graduate of the school himself, was called upon to lead the institution out of a desire to restore it to its historical status. He rebranded the school, which was previously a leading institution for training engineers, and succeeded in turning it into a particularly sought-after school in the Neve David neighborhood.
Under his leadership, the school became a significant educational success, so much so that many students were waiting in line to be accepted as early as seventh grade. His death came as a shock to the students and staff.

A tender is now being held to select a new principal to fill the big shoes he left behind. As of now, it has not been announced who will lead the school in the coming years.

Over the years, parents have been satisfied with the school, but they have claimed that there is a difficulty with the fact that there are so many students at the school, which causes full classes and overcrowding in the hallways and courtyard.

  1. 😍Wishing every principal and principal in "Educating the Children of Israel" great success: for "values", which often also lead to "achievements"... as long as there is "encouragement" and "support", which leads to the "discovery of the potential" that lies at the core of every boy-student and girl-student; throughout the years of the "learning process"...!!!😭😭😭

  2. New principals for schools in the north?

    Only one.

    And thanks to him, female procreation was eradicated.

    Write new principals for schools in the north.

    It reflects more on female power, their strength.

    Leadership and reality.

    That the Hebrew language is essentially masculine,

    Does not mean to erase the female majority on one

    The masculine declared in the article and to erase the entire female majority,

    And even more so when a woman writes the article.

    I was really offended as a woman.

    • 😍I wasn't offended as a "woman"!
      * "Linguistic precision" in the Hebrew language exists, regardless of "emotion", unless "Eliezer Ben Yehuda" and his successors were/are also influenced by such "logic"!

      * And… the “main thing” is that the “farmer’s” wife also rules the city’s “square”… in every “high position”, always with her “head held high”…!!!😂🙏🙏🙏
