Principal's Message

Welcome to North Polk High School, the home of the Comets!

It is an absolute honor and a privilege to serve as your Principal. While I am stepping into a new role this year, North Polk is a place I have proudly called home since 1999. Over the past 28 years, I have had the opportunity to serve this incredible community as a math teacher, head football coach, activities director, and most recently, as your assistant principal for the last seven years. My roots run deep here, and my commitment to the success of our students, staff, and families has never been stronger.

I graduated from GMG High School in Garwin, Iowa. I earned my undergraduate degree from Simpson College and my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Drake University. My wife, Theresa, and I have raised four proud North Polk graduates: Samantha (2014), Tyler (2018), Jessica (2021), and Wyatt (2024). We are also the incredibly blessed grandparents to Shepherd, Reece, and Mateo. Outside of school, we love spending time with our family and cheering for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

What we do here academically is vital work, and what we do to develop our students as people is just as important. Every student who walks through our doors should feel safe and cared for. We want to ensure they learn to become successful adults—as citizens, parents, spouses, and employees—and that they learn to collaborate with those around them with kindness, empathy, and a willingness to work hard for something bigger than themselves.

North Polk High School has a rich tradition of excellence, and I am excited to build upon that foundation alongside our dedicated, passionate staff. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time via email or telephone.

Let’s make it a fantastic school year. 

Go Comets!

Mr. Rob Sinclair

Principal, North Polk High School
