Shira Reuveni Named Head of Kadumim’s Nakhshon Girls School

Shira Reuveni has been appointed principal of Nakhshon Bnot, the state religious girls school in Kadumim and the first school established in Samaria. Reuveni, 41, is married, mother of five daughters, and lives in Revava.

She brings 16 years of experience in education, including work as a homeroom teacher, coordinator, and baccalaureate exam instructor. She joined the Kadumim school staff about nine years ago, moved into the management team a year later, later served as pedagogical coordinator, and in the past three years was deputy principal.

On taking the post, Reuveni said she was “excited and grateful” for the chance to lead the school, calling education “a mission” and saying her goal is to help each student realize her unique potential. She said she wants to continue developing the school as a center of academic excellence, values-based education, social involvement, and a positive climate, working with the staff, parents, and the local council.

Kadumim council head Ouziel Vetik welcomed the appointment, saying the school is a central pillar of the town’s education system and praising Reuveni as the natural choice because she grew up in the school and knows its staff, students, and community. He also thanked the outgoing principal, Rabbi Menachem Ben Yosef, who completed about 20 years in the role, for leading the school with wisdom, sensitivity, and an educational approach that shaped generations of students.
