ISG Superintendent's Message
SHARE
As we prepare to welcome our students back to school, I want to take a moment to thank the many teams across ISG who worked diligently throughout the summer to ensure our campuses, programs and systems are ready for another great year. Your dedication is deeply appreciated.
I would also like to recognize our students who received their AP and IB results—congratulations! We know how much time and effort you put into your studies and we are proud of all you’ve accomplished.
To our students awaiting their A Level and IGCSE results in August, we are confident that you will have positive results. We look forward to celebrating your achievements and sharing them with our community in the weeks ahead.
INTRODUCING NEW ISG JUBAIL LEADERSHIP
It is my pleasure to warmly re-introduce Dr. Jamie Martin as Principal of ISG Jubail and Mr. Sanjeev Jangra as Assistant Principal, both officially stepping into their new roles on August 1, 2025. We look forward to the leadership, vision and commitment they will bring to the ISG Jubail community.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Sarah Dugan and Mrs. Rebecca Cays for their outstanding leadership and dedication to ISG Jubail. We are deeply grateful for their contributions and wish them all the very best in their next chapters. Mrs. Sarah Dugan will be taking on a new role at ISG as Head of Student Support Services and Mrs. Rebecca Cays will be returning to the United States to join her family.
