He is superintendent of a parochial elementary school system and part-time staff at Harvard Graduate School of Education professional development programs. Habeeb has served a four-year term at the Harvard Graduate School of Education Principal Advisory Board. Habeeb is board chair of MYNA (Muslim Youth of North America) and board member of CISNA (Council of Islamic School of North America). In 2019, he became the first Muslim school principal to be named National Distinguished Principal by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP). He has lectured throughout the United States, Canada and abroad on Islam, society, and social problems confronting Muslim youth and the community at large, including workshops for the U.S Department of State, public schools and universities. He has co-authored “War within Our Hearts” (The Struggles of the Muslim Youth), “Thank God it is Jumuah”, “Parenting, Who Said it Was Easy”, “Wisdom of the Wise: Advice of Luqman,” “The Islamic School Resource Guide: Developing Schools and Educational Excellence,” and was the religious and cultural consultant for the children’s book “Under the Ramadan Moon” by Sylvia Whitman.

Habeeb will provide the community with his feedback after his first full day of training our school teachers and staff and answer any questions you may have.

Food will be served after, insha Allah.
