Matanzas High School Principal Kristin Bozeman has been named Flagler Schools’ Principal of the Year, and Flagler Palm Coast High School Assistant Principal Mandy Kraverotis has been named Assistant Principal of the Year.
Bozeman and Kraverotis were recommended by their peers — other district principals and assistant principals — Flagler Schools Superintendent LaShakia Moore said.
“There are some requirements from the state for them to be eligible, and then there is a rubric that we utilize at the district level with the senior cabinet,” Moore said. “So our chiefs and myself, we get together and review the recommendations, review our rubric and make a selection based on that.”
Bozeman is in her third year at Matanzas. She previously had been a teacher, assistant principal and district administrator in the St. Johns County School District.
“She's been able to put strong academic processes in place that helped to get Matanzas back to an ‘A’ rating,” Moore said. “That was something she came in and said, ‘We're going to get this.’ She's been very strategic about it, and we've been able to accomplish it.”
Bozeman has been very involved in the district, even outside of Matanzas as a member of the bargaining team and a mentor to administrators, Moore said.
“We're very proud of her and what she brings to Flagler Schools,” Moore said.
Kraverotis is in her third year as an assistant principal at FPC. Before that, she was an assistant principal at Matanzas for four years.
“She is just instrumental in the work that we do in academics,” Moore said. “She is there reviewing schedules and just looking at ways that we can always offer better opportunities for our students. She builds great, great relationships with not just our faculty and staff, but with our students, knowing who they are, knowing them by name and just helping to move both programs, both schools. You can trace back the work that she's done academically in her leadership role. She helps to develop other leaders.”
Moore said Kraverotis’ footprint is vast across the district.
“You look at Matanzas High School and FPC, and you see systems that she's put into place at both of those schools,” Moore said.
