Dr. Nuneville supports secondary programs, schools, and their principals. The scope of these responsibilities is vast and varied, including supporting Principals as they work with students and families, and truthfully everything in between. Janissa is the district-level administrator who serves as the resource for implementing and coordinating the work or resolution of issues at our district’s only high school and three middle schools.
Janissa began her career in Colonial in 2001 as a World Language Teacher (Spanish) at William Penn High School. In 2008 she was a Student Advisor at Pleasantville Elementary School. Janissa then joined the Gunning Bedford Middle School Administration team as an Assistant Principal in 2010. Following a five-year stint as an AP, in 2015 Janissa was promoted to Principal of Castle Hills Elementary School. She served in that role until July 2022, when she began her current position as Director of Schools.
Janissa and her husband, Bil, are the proud parents of sons, Greyson and Trey, and daughter Avery, all three of whom embody Janissa’s passion for athletics. In fact, Janissa has maintained her love of coaching, as she coaches her boys in basketball, while thoroughly enjoying watching Avery on the soccer pitch. When they get free time from competition the family loves to recharge at the beach.
In the spirit of a recent Leadership Council Equity PD on the power of labels, two words from the Colonial Mindset that best embody Janissa’s leadership are – Drive and Precision.
Janissa believes the Power of WE boils down to each of us holding each other, and ourselves, accountable for an equitable education for ALL students.
