INDIANAPOLIS — North Central High School has named a new principal.
Washington Township Schools announced that Jagga Rent has been approved as the new principal after the school board concluded its hiring process this week. His transition to the new position will be finalized in the coming weeks.
“We are thrilled by Mr. Jagga Rent’s appointment as the new principal of North Central High School,” said Dr. Pettigrew, chief academic and DEI officer. “Mr. Rent brings a wealth of experience and a visionary approach that aligns with our district’s strategic goals and the unique needs of our diverse educational community.”
Rent has previously worked in multiple roles in educational administration, including a stint as the principal of Hamilton Southeastern Intermediate Junior High School. He has also served as the assistant principal and dean at Hamilton Southeastern High School.
Rent obtained his bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education and a master’s degree in Educational Administration from Ball State University.
North Central High School’s new principal has also served as a Level Up Leadership Presenter through the Indiana Department of Education and an Empowering Diverse Leader Mentor for the Indiana Association of School Principals.
“I am extremely humbled and excited to embark on this new journey as the next Principal at North Central High School,” Rent said. Additionally, “I am eager to contribute to the school’s rich tradition and history of excellence. I look forward to collaborating with the Washington Township community to continue their legacy of success.”
The high school’s previous principal, Daniel Mendez, resigned last month after being hired last spring to succeed Evans Branigan III. North Central High School never disclosed the reasons behind the resignation of its last principal.
