Principal inauguration is a momentous occasion that marks a new beginning, and we’ve put together a collection of inaugural speeches to help you celebrate this momentous occasion. Prepare a heartfelt message with a variety of inaugural speech examples.

 

Topic – I’m here to listen to your thoughts and opinions

First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. ○○○, the chairman of the school management committee, Ms. ○○○, the president of the school management committee, Mr. ○○○, the president of the alumni association, and other guests and parents for taking time out of their busy schedules to come here today. Welcome to the students of ○○ High School.
I stand here with a heavy responsibility as a school principal to teach students to live a true life. Therefore, I will focus on character education, which recovers the essence of education and cultivates human-like character, and creativity education, which synthesizes, applies, and re-creates knowledge information. I will use my knowledge and experience to serve as a school business manager, and I will always anticipate the future, present a vision, and take the lead in creating a new school culture through democratic professional leadership.
You, the students, are the owners of our school, and you are the agents of your own learning. Teachers are facilitators and guides to help you learn, so we want you to be intellectually curious, excited about learning, self-directed, and engaged in extracurricular activities. Specialized education. and classroom activities to showcase your talents and skills.
Everyone has different abilities. You should believe in your own abilities and have confidence that you can do this well, and always have a positive self-concept that you like and respect yourself first, and develop the courage and drive to not be afraid of failure. The real losers are not those who fail, but those who give up. In the future, I will also keep in close contact with you and listen to your thoughts and opinions.
You are a happy person who is learning from talented and enthusiastic teachers in a school with history and tradition in a place with a good mountain climate. I would like to end my inaugural speech by asking you to always respect your teachers, appreciate their teaching, prepare hard, and become the people this society needs.
Thank you very much.

 

 

Topic – ○○I ask for your cooperation for the development of the school

First of all, I would like to thank the faculty, staff, school management committee chairperson, and parents for attending this event.
I joined the teaching profession as a teacher at ○○ Elementary School and served as vice principal at ○○ Elementary School. I will utilize my teaching experience to build on the foundation you have laid so far and work with the staff and parents to make ○○ Elementary School a better and more vibrant place for education.
I will cherish meeting with all of you. Education cannot be done alone, nor should it depend on the ideas of any one person. I believe that it requires the ideas, expertise, passion, and sense of mission of all of us. A word that is always common in advanced education countries is respect.
“Respect ourselves”
Respect yourself, value yourself!
If you value yourself, you will value others. You should value what you do, and you should become a more professional and skilled person.
“Respect Others”
Respect others, value others!
Everyone, I will respect the different teachers, listen to the different teachers and parents, and respect them.
I will greet everyone with a smile. When I greet children with bright faces, I feel younger and younger. I will be a good compromiser. The art of compromise is knowing how to make concessions, but I think respecting others makes me a good compromiser, and I think good compromisers can build a happy life.
I believe that the most important thing in a community is communication, and I will open my heart and listen to you, and I will communicate with you every chance I get to make our school a happy place, and I believe that you will be as warm and loving as you are now.
It is said that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. We are fellow travelers on a long road together, accompanying the children of ○○ in the global era and carrying the future of our proud motherland, Korea.
Finally, I would like to thank the previous principal, staff members, and other parents who actively worked to make me the principal, and I would also like to thank my wife, daughter, and son for their support. Thank you.

 

 

Theme – I will create a healthy ○○ Middle School

It is my sincere pleasure to take on the responsibility of principal of this school and to study and work with you in this school.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the previous principal and teachers for their hard work and contributions, and I will do my utmost to make you excellent students and to develop ○○ Middle School.
However, the development of a school is a very difficult matter. It’s not just me, but all the teachers, all the students, all the parents, and all of us need to work together.
If we compare it to a tug-of-war game, when the two teams, blue and white, are pulling each other as hard as they can, the rope doesn’t move a bit, but if either team shifts their strength or loses control, they will surely lose. That’s why it’s important to work together.
So, I’m going to give it my all, and I hope you’re going to give it yours, too.
In the meantime, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about what I’m thinking about.
First, as young people, you need to grow up healthy.
As a middle school student, you are at a very important time in your life, when your mind and body are growing. When I say “healthy,” I mean both mind and body, of course, but the best way to be happy is to be physically healthy. If you are physically healthy, you can study and work as much as you want, but your mental health is also important, so I hope you will take this seriously and keep your mind and body healthy.
Second, learn hard, play hard, and work hard.
You’re motivated to learn right now, so this is the time when studying is best in your mind. Whether you’re heading off to advanced school or looking for a job, we encourage you to study for your future.
At the same time, it’s important to be willing to work. Good habits rule a lifetime.
And it’s good to have a hobby. When I say “play hard,” I mean it’s good to have a noble hobby.
These are just my usual thoughts, but I’m sure there are many more important things for a school to be great.
I would like to work with the teachers and students to implement these things one by one in cooperation with each other. It seems that people often talk about theories, but when it comes to implementation, there is often a mismatch between words and deeds.
Please continue to submit your opinions and let’s do good things one by one, and let’s make this school, which has been good so far, even better.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – Thank you for your warm welcome

I am honored to be working at ○○ Elementary School, a prestigious school in ○○ with a rich history and tradition. Despite this honor, I am nervous about my inadequate abilities, but I am confident that I will be well supported by the wonderful vice principal and other staff members.
All of us in the education family at ○○ Elementary School are destined to be in the same boat, and today, I and thirteen other teachers have boarded the ○○ again, and although I am a late comer, I feel a great responsibility because I have become the captain of the ○○.
Now that we are in the same boat, we are in the position of having to sail together. When the water is clear, the moon is bright, and the scenery is beautiful, we will cheer together, and when the wind is fierce and the ship is in danger of running aground, we will have to scoop out the water that is flooding into the boat with all our might to survive.
We, the ○○ Education family, are all so wise that we believe we can overcome any crisis that comes our way and accomplish the big goal of educating second-generation citizens and creating an educational culture that will grow dreamers into big trees.
Let’s think, ‘What is the shortest way to get to the United States?
‘ Get on a fast airplane ‘
This is a vague, but possibly correct, answer, but it’s not a definitive answer. The most accurate answer would be to go with someone you love, especially if it’s someone you care about.
Going to work with a great partner can make every day a good day, as long as you keep your eyes open. But going to work with someone you don’t like is a thorn in your side, and it’s going to be a really boring day. Especially since today is the start of a new school year. ○○The teaching family welcomed the incoming families with great enthusiasm.
We met south to south. Even in one family, even between parents and children, there may be differences of opinion, and sometimes the color of our faces may change with discord. However, if we make a little concession to each other and consider each other a little more, we can always be proud companions.
I wish you well in the future.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – We need your active cooperation for your child’s education

Today, as I take over as principal of ○○ Elementary School in Seoul, I would like to share the pride, reward, and honor of being a part of the family with more than a hundred children, staff, parents, alumni, and community members.
A school is not just a place to teach studies, but a place where children can cultivate their own dreams and become the right kind of people who can live well in the future. Therefore, teachers and students must communicate with each other on a personal level, and parents and community members must believe in and support the school. For this to happen, the school must be a pleasant place where everyone wants to come and stay because it is ‘our school’.
As the principal met with several children for the first time today, instead of saying, “Do your best in school,” I would like to say, “Do what you want to do, but don’t hurt others.
You are free to do what you want to do, but you must not harm others. You must think deeply about whether what you are doing is harmful to others or helpful to others.
Parents and community members, in the past, we used to have a “one-line education” where we would select honor students based on their scores, but now we need to have a “many-line education” where each child can feel successful in their favorite field and use their talents. Children do not belong to their parents, and we should not impose our ideas on them. We should help them make their own decisions because they have their own ideas and will live in a different world.
Education is not something that schools can do alone, and can only be maximized through complementary efforts with families and society. The diverse and rich experiences and knowledge of parents and local community members should be actively utilized to fill the gaps in schools. With the idea that we are all teachers, let’s devote ourselves to the healthy development of every child in our town.
Children, teachers, parents, alumni, and local residents, we are one family as members of the ○○ Elementary School community. Let’s gather our strength and wisdom to make this a school you want to transfer to and a town you want to move to. Finally, as principal, I pledge to listen to your opinions, think deeply about them, and build a good school together with you.

 

 

Theme – We will strive to grow into a global leader

It’s May, and new buds are starting to poke their heads out of seemingly dead trees, and the world is about to turn green and colorful. You may wonder how the world around you has changed, but the changes are so small that you don’t see them unless you look closely. Perhaps people only realize that spring has arrived when leaves sprout from the buds and flowers bloom.
Similarly, people seem to be numb to what’s happening around them.
It takes a major accident to make them realize that something has happened. I hope that you can keep your eyes and ears open, not just for nature, but for the people around you.
I believe that nothing makes a person grow like communication, and I look forward to helping you grow even more, so I will strive to be a principal who can communicate with you.
As I begin my new role as principal, I would like to share with you some of my expectations and changes.
You are a chosen people, spending the most important years of your life at ○○, transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. As you are well aware, our goal is to educate “proud Koreans and global leaders.” As such, our curriculum is both Korean and global. The curriculum that you are currently participating in consists of identity education, various activities for leadership development, and international education, where identity education and leadership activities account for 50% of the curriculum, and international education accounts for the remaining 50%.
In order to become the best school in Korea and the world, we will deepen each of these activities in the future. To this end, from the second semester, we will further strengthen and deepen identity education and leadership activities. We will also strengthen our written activities in this area to improve your understanding of the Korean language, so that you can deepen the foundation for your future as a member of our society and as a leader.
For all of these programs, our new faculty for the second semester will be a diverse group of teachers in their 50s, 40s, 30s, and 20s, giving you more stability. Ongoing and regular evaluations of native teachers as well as leadership teachers will be conducted to ensure that staff members are more engaged in student teaching.
As all of these activities operate under the Community Code of ○○, we will apply the Community Code more strictly to students in the future, without exception, to increase students’ sense of compliance.
As a result of this series of efforts, we hope that each of you will develop into a global leader, and that our school will also develop into a world-class school.
In the end, all of this requires not only the efforts of the school authorities, but also the understanding and cooperation of students, teachers and parents, so I ask for your understanding and cooperation, and wish you all the best in your growth. Thank you very much.

 

 

Topic – We want to create a “school like school

Good morning, everyone.
It’s a pleasant fall morning. Moreover, today is the National Day of the Open Sky.
Gaecheonjeon, which means the opening of the heavens and the opening of the country, is the birthday of our country. I’m sure you all know the myth of Dangun, the myth of a bear being born into a human being through a lot of hard work, and the founding of Gojoseon. Our country was born under the name Joseon a long time ago, and although it has changed many names in between, it has become the Republic of Korea. Before my inaugural speech, I would like to commemorate this momentous day.
After the announcement of my appointment on October 1, I received many heartfelt congratulations from my family, colleagues at work, and friends, saying, “You’ve been working so hard, and now you’re a principal, how wonderful. I was grateful for the congratulations because I personally felt a great deal of joy that this was the last honor I was given after 25 years of teaching, three and a half years as an assistant principal, three and a half years as a scholarship officer, and 32 years of teaching.
But that was only for a moment. When I turned it around and thought about it, the words, “Now that I’m principal, the hard work is over,” and realized how ashamed I must be of myself as a principal, and as an educator in this day and age who is supposed to be leading the charge for good education, if only for my own personal comfort, my shoulders weighed heavily.
Honorable faculty, parents, and students!
As I bow my head in gratitude for the congratulations that greet me, rather than ask you what I want you to do for the school, I would like to share with you some of my resolutions and commitments as I take the helm.
Everyone in their right mind will tell you that our education is in crisis, that our schools are teetering on the brink, but we will never solve our education problems or turn our education around by looking outside of ourselves and blaming and resenting anything outside of ourselves.
The answers are within us. We hold the keys. If our children are going wrong, it’s because we’ve taught them wrong, and if they’re lost and wandering, it’s because we’re not doing enough to be their spiritual beacon.
As a principal, I have only a small amount of power, but with the passion of our teachers who truly love our children and the support of our wonderful parents who would risk everything for their children, I hope to create a school that does education right and a school that is a school.
As principal of this school, I will definitely emphasize learning, because that is the reason for the existence of schools in the East and West, and the most important purpose of education.
To our honored teachers, parents, and beloved students!
In whatever we do, the greater the ambition we have in our hearts, the better.
My resolutions and determination that I have shared so far are by no means small, perhaps even beyond my personal capabilities.
But I have faith in our teachers, and I have faith in our teachers who will be willing to step up to the plate if this principal’s philosophy and commitment to putting children at the center of education and doing well in school and doing well in education is the right thing to do.
I am sure that the students and parents will also applaud from the bottom of their hearts. I will do my best not to name names so as not to embarrass you, thank you.

 

 

Topic – Dream, love, and create are the lessons of our school

hello.
Greetings to everyone in the ○○ Middle School education family.
The autumn sky is so clear. The color of the sky is as clear and transparent as if paint had been released, and it stretches so high that you can’t even touch it. It was on this sky-high day that our country first appeared in the world under the name of Joseon. From the myth of Dangun, which we all know, our land and our people have lived on the Korean Peninsula for thousands of years.
Our ○○ Middle School has only been open for five years, but I think it is because we have been able to stabilize and develop as a school within the confines of the Republic of Korea.
I am very grateful that the members of the school community, students, teachers, parents, and the community, have been caring for each other and fulfilling their duties diligently.
As a principal, I take on the heavy responsibility of leading our students to develop into human resources with the core competencies required in the 21st century knowledge-based society.
Today’s society demands people with core competencies, that is, people with character and skills at the same time. People with character are those who care for others with love and practice sharing, and people with skills are those who create knowledge with creativity.
Therefore, my vision for school education is to foster people who live together by practicing caring and sharing with love, and who realize their dreams by creating new knowledge with creativity.
These are the lessons of our school: dreams, love, and creativity.
In order to realize our vision of schooling, we will strive to do the following.
First, we will organize a curriculum that allows members of the school community to share the vision of school education and implement it together, and we will strive to operate the school in a curriculum-centered manner.
Second, we will create formal and informal forums of harmony among school community members to foster a school atmosphere of caring and sharing through dialogue and compromise.
In particular, we will strive for systemic improvements to ensure that the human rights of students and the human and teaching rights of teachers are mutually respected.
Third, we will strive to organize and operate curricula that emphasize career education to help students explore and choose careers and jobs.
And finally, we will strive to help students develop self-directed learning skills.
Students themselves are the main actors in learning activities. Teachers are facilitators and guides who help students learn, so we will strive to foster intellectual curiosity, excitement for learning, and self-directed learning.
In closing, I leave you with this message. We expect you to do what you are good at, what you love, and what you value, to pursue your dreams, and to grow into people with core competencies for the future. I look forward to staying in close contact with the education community and listening to your thoughts and opinions.
Thank you.

 

 

Topic – Becoming a school that fosters unity rather than competition

Good morning, everyone.
Let me begin by expressing my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your support and blessings on my inauguration.
However, for me, today’s joy is preceded by a heavy and sobering responsibility.
I know that there has been a great deal of concern about the state of middle school education in recent years.
That’s because, over time, middle school has lost its purpose and has become little more than a staging ground for getting into a good high school.
It’s a place where kids are taught to be cutthroat and competitive instead of character-building. I deplore the fact that we are now teaching endless competition to students who are going through one of the most sensitive and vulnerable periods of their lives, boyhood.
So my vision is not to increase competition, but to eliminate, as much as possible, unnecessary competition or a fighting mentality in schools.
There is always going to be an invisible competition to get into the high school of your choice,
there’s no need to bring it to the surface and create a climate of fear for students.
Schools aren’t meant to be ad hoc institutions for admissions.
It’s not a spartan admissions academy, either.
Socialization is definitely part of what school is supposed to be about. We’re going to reframe school so that we can learn to work together to create beautiful things, so that we can learn to work together before we compete.
I’d like to take a moment to tell you the story of the two-headed bird.
The bird’s two heads feuded and eventually came up with a plan to kill each other.
In the end, the bird loses its life because it has two heads but one body.
Success isn’t the only thing that awaits at the end of the current frenzied competition.
It is said that it is an era of infinite competition, but only schools will strive to become an institution that fosters friendship, harmony, and unity rather than competition.
So, please stand by the underdogs and be their strength.
We need your help to make sure that we are able to fulfill the great cause of student growth and self-actualization. With my determination and your help, I believe that school will no longer be a cold place that enforces competition, but a place that recreates symbiosis and harmony.
I would like to thank you all once again for attending the inauguration ceremony.
I would like to conclude my remarks by wishing you all the best.

 

 

Theme – I will be a respected and trustworthy principal

Good morning, everyone.
I am ○○○, the new principal of ○○ High School.
Thank you all for gathering here to celebrate my appointment. I would like to thank the school board members and other parents for taking time out of their busy schedules to be here.
When I think about how many years I’ve been teaching, I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve had some fun, some rewarding, and some frustrating experiences, but I’ve persevered and gotten to where I am today.
One morning last week, I watched a morning show about a teacher and a pupil, and the teacher told the pupil that he should be respected and be loyal to his coworkers.
It was like a message to me: Have I been a respected teacher? Have I been a teacher with integrity? Have I inspired faith in my parents? I can’t confidently say yes. I don’t have the confidence to say no.
I think teaching is a God-given profession, and some people say that anyone can do it. This comes from people who don’t know the profession. Teaching requires a lot of hard work, passion, and waiting. It’s not a job that you want anyone to recognize. True educators have been silently looking ahead.
I will try to emulate them, and make this school a place where students want to come, teachers feel rewarded to teach, and parents trust their children.
We can’t just think about it.
You have to put it into action.
From my first day at ○○ High School, I will do my best to make it a school that students want to come to.
If it’s for the students, I will roll up my sleeves and do my best.
It will take more than just my efforts to create a school that students want to come to and a school that students love.
I ask all the students here, teachers, and parents to work together for the development of ○○ High School.
It is easier to achieve with the wisdom of many than with the strength of one.
Thank you.
