Bismarck Public Schools Just Named A New Assistant Principal

Bismarck Legacy High School Names a New Assistant Principal

In a press release from Bismarck Public Schools, Jennifer Berry has been named Assistant Principal at Legacy High School. She will start in her new job at the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year.

This job opened up when the current Bismarck Legacy Assistant Principal, Emily Jacobsen, decided to leave the school district for another opportunity.

Who is Jennifer Berry?

Berry has more than a decade of experience serving students at Legacy High School, having worked as a counselor for the past 11 years. During that time, she has taken on a variety of leadership roles, including serving as a Multi-Tiered System of Supports lead and department chair. Throughout her career, Berry has been deeply committed to supporting students and developing systems that help kids succeed. One of Berry's programs, called "Thriving Teams", which focuses on leadership, connection, and growth within student activities, has been a big help for incoming students as they transition into Legacy High School.

Outside of Bismarck Legacy, Jennifer Berry enjoys spending time with her husband, Brian, and their two daughters.

Berry's Vision

She had this to say about her new position, "I'm incredibly honored to step into this role at Legacy. I truly love this building, the community it is part of, and the people in it. Our staff is something special, and our students are what make Legacy such a great place to be. I'm excited to step into this new role and continue building relationships with our students, staff, and families."
