In partnership with Walsworth Publishing Company, the Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals (MoASSP) is proud to recognize eight outstanding regional administrators as the 2025 MoASSP/Walsworth Consummate Professionals
Jonathan Petersen, principal of Cole Camp High School at Cole Camp R-1 has been named the 2025 MoAssp/Walsworth Central Region Consummate Professional. This prestigious award, selected by peers, honors principals who exemplify dedication to the profession and MoASSP.
Dr. Robert C. Howe, MoASSP Executive Director from1987-1995, first coined the phrase “The Consummate Professional” to recognize exemplary leadership. Award recipients are selected for their impact on student achievement, contributions to their school and community, leadership within the principalship and MoASSP, and commitment to fostering a positive school climate. They are highly respected by students, colleagues, parents, and the boarder community
MoASSP will officially honor Jonathan Petersen and seven other regional recipients at the Walsworth Consummate Professional Reception during the Spring Conference at the Lodge of the Four Seasons on Sunday, March 30, 2025. Representatives from Walsworth Publishing Company will be present to celebrate the honorees.
As part of this recognition, Walsworth provides a $500 scholarship which Mr. Petersen will award to a graduating senior at Cole Camp. The scholarship has no restrictions on recipient selection.
MoASSP Executive Director, Clark Mershon, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “MoASSP is pleased to collaborate with Walsworth Publishing Company to honor these deserving principals and their students.
