It has been an honor to serve and support Evanston Township High School students, families, and staff for the last 21 years. As I reflect on this incredible journey, I want to share that my last day at ETHS will be June 30, 2025.

 

I began at ETHS as a Social Worker, and throughout my roles as Dean, Associate Principal for Student Services, and Assistant Superintendent/Principal I have always remained a Social Worker at heart. Now, I am continuing my clinical focus in private practice. 

 

My love for our ETHS family will never fade and neither will my deep respect and gratitude for the ways we are committed to growing together and seeing the beauty in each of our identities. 

 

My commitment to ETHS and the Evanston community remains steadfast, and I will continue to uphold our shared values as a proud and engaged Evanston community member and as a social worker in private practice.

 

While I am excited for this next chapter, know that I appreciate each of you. And know that I believe that you will continue to embrace the greatness that is ETHS, that is within our families and within our students.

 

Sincerely,

Taya Kinzie, Ed.D., LCSW
Assistant Superintendent & Principal
