My name is John Reid, and I am proud to be heading into my 7th year as the principal of Indian Lane Elementary School. The Indian Lane staff has a strong commitment and relationship with its students and parents. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead Indian Lane as its principal. Over the past 6 years, we have built upon the rich traditions and academic successes that the students and parents embrace and expect.
I come to Indian Lane with 25 years of experience in education, 17 as an administrator. I began as a social studies teacher at Baldwin-Whitehall School District just outside of Pittsburgh. I entered administration as the Assistant Principal at North Brandywine Middle School in the Coatesville Area School District. In addition to being an assistant principal, I was an Elementary Principal, a Middle School Principal, and a Director over my 13 years with the district. My diverse experience has provided me with a unique perspective to understand what children need at each level of their educational experience as well as the supports needed to ensure their success.
As a father and a husband, I understand the personal nature of education and the importance of ensuring a strong future for our children. I have three children of my own who are now 23, 21, and 20. I work each day to ensure that Indian Lane Elementary School is a safe, nurturing, challenging, and positive place for your children - a school that I would want my own children to attend.
I look forward to working with and for all the members of the community. Feel free to reach out to me at any time through phone or email.
