スーパー新学校

One thing my principal keeps saying is that he wants our already high-academic school to become a "New Super-school," or in Japanese "Suupaa shingakko" (SSG)

Going SSG is his apparently his pet five-year plan. Since January, he has brought it up in almost every speech and even refers to our school as colloquially as "Asakura New Super-school" instead of the regular name. The strange thing is, there doesn't seem to be any specific plan as to HOW we will achieve "Super New-school" levels of greatness, except that more students are supposed to go to Tokyo University and other top schools. As far as I can tell, he doesn't address that aspect of it in speeches or meetings. Is it all just a grand rebranding scheme? And when I ask my colleagues about it whilest I hear them grumbling about the lofty goal, all they tell me is that it does not pertain to my job(1)

Personally, I expect the transformation will look something like this:
