We sat down with Mark Manning, who's spent the last 13 years as principal of Morristown High School, to find out.Manning didn't set out to become an educator. Raised in South Jersey, he headed to Boston for college and started out on a different career path — one that left him searching for something more fulfilling. It was a visit back to his old high school guidance counselor that changed everything, setting him on the path toward education, and years later, into the principal's office. In this conversation, he talks about that turning point, what's kept him committed to the job this long, and what he hopes to leave behind at Morristown.It's a conversation about purpose, persistence, and what it really means to lead a school day in and day out.🎓 Part of our ongoing series spotlighting the educators and leaders shaping our schools.👍 Like, subscribe, and comment below — who should we feature next? If you are interested in telling your Morris County story,  contact us at [email protected]
