| 1/3/26 | ![]() #51 - Heather Pinto-Beattie, Montgomery, New Jersey - Belonging by Design | Heather Pino-Beattie is the principal of Montgomery High School in New Jersey. Heather proudest work as a principal has been creating and growing the Montgomery STARR Program ((Shifting Through Awareness, Regulation, and Relationships), a mental health program that now touches every secondary school in her district. From the start, it was clear that you cannot be trauma-informed without being culturally competent, and you cannot be culturally competent without being trauma-informed. STARR was their response to that truth. The program keeps students in their least restrictive environment while providing intensive support for both mental health and academics. It centers on relationships, regulation, and a sense of belonging. Whether a student is formally in the STARR program or not, the foundation of belonging that is at the center of STARR has become the foundation for every aspect of Montgomery High School. What started at the high school level now serves students across all three secondary schools and has transformed how our staff supports every learner. STARR has reduced out-of-district placements, expanded access to care, and, most importantly, helped students feel seen, safe, and valued. The most significant impact is cultural. STARR has reshaped their school community. It allows Heather and her staff to meet students where they are, whether they are thriving, struggling, or somewhere in the middle. It gives them the chance to tell every student that they matter, and that they will challenge them academically while supporting them socially and emotionally. That balance of care and expectation is what makes STARR the work Heather Pino-Beattie the most proud of. X- @PrincipalPino Instagram - Principal Pino @MHS_Cougar_Den | 40m 20s | ||||||
