Brad Neuendorf

Brad Neuendorf is the principal at Lander Valley High School in Wyoming where he also served as the assistant principal for four years. Previously, he was a social studies teacher and activities director with nearly 20 proud years of public education experience.

Brad took over at Lander Valley High School during its transition to a new block schedule, created to build in intervention time for students throughout the school day. In an attempt to continually enhance student learning through reflective practices and improved instruction, Lander Valley started its professional learning community journey. With an already prominent schoolwide culture of continuous improvement, there was immediate buy-in from staff, and Lander Valley quickly prioritized standards, created proficiency scales, and created a standards-based grading system to serve its 550 students.

These efforts, and subsequent gains in students achievement data, led LVHS to be named a Model PLC at Work® school in 2019 and a 2020 DuFour Award Finalist. The Lander Valley High School Story was featured in the Summer 2020 edition of All Things PLC Magazine. Neuendorf was the 2018 Secondary Principal of the Year for the state of Wyoming.

Brad attended the University of Idaho where he received a master’s degree in educational leadership.
