Celebrating National Assistant Principals Week: Honoring the Heart of Our Schools
Assistant Principal Aidan Vigil was born and mostly raised in Fairfax, Virginia—except for a few formative years in Honduras, where his father was stationed with the CIA. In high school, Aidan played varsity football and soccer, and was deeply inspired by his coaches. “They showed me the impact educators can have in teaching life skills. They taught me that things won’t always go your way, and that’s part of life.”
