π Meet Byron Phillips, the principal of East High! π
When asked about his excitement in taking on this role, he shared, "I was humbled, honored, and extremely excited for the opportunity to serve as the principal of East High School." With a deep understanding of Waterloo's pride and tradition, he's dedicated to upholding excellence and fostering a positive environment for students and staff.
"My #Bold is consistently modeling the βGolden Ruleβ...treating others as you would like to be treated," said Mr. Phillips.
Reflecting on triumphs from this year, Phillips highlighted improvements in the school's culture and climate, increased attendance efforts, and notable achievements in athletics, ESports, robotics, and performing arts. In addition, our cheerleaders were second to none all year.
Looking ahead, his goal is simple: "Be Better!" Phillips aims to support every Trojan in becoming the best version of themselves, fostering #pride, #positivity, #respect, #integrity, #dedication, and #engagement.
To be an East High Trojan means embodying these values and consistently modeling the "Golden Rule" of treating others as you'd like to be treated. π‘οΈπ« #EastHighPride #TrojanNation #WaterlooProud

So happy for you!! I have heard so much good from your reign and I am so proud for you and your accomplishments!! Still a traitor in my Packet eyes!!β€οΈ
Byron! Congrats!!! You are an awesome educator and well deserved!
I remember him when he was my principal in seventh grade at central middle school οΏΌοΏΌ
This guy has been an inspiration through so many phases of my life! I'm not afraid to say he met me when I was 14 at a juvenile detention center. He was kind but stern. I then ended up at expo when he worked there and was always caring but not afraid to tell me when I was messing up! It took awhile but I now have a bachelor's in psychology, going for my master's, and all I want to do is be such a big influence as you! Thank you Byron for your impact on waterloo and me!! π€©
Congratulations and Good Luck.
Wonderful, dedicated, kind, patient and humble man!!! Very very proud of him!! Byron leads by example!!! EHS is lucky to have him! π€
YES! CONGRATULATIONS Byron! πππ
You're the best Byron! π―
