Shout out to our AMAZING Assistant Principals! Happy National Assistant Principal Week! Through every Storm, your leadership makes the difference! Go Storm!
Congratulations to our newest cohort of Principal Induction Program graduates! 🎉
This morning, we celebrated 27 phenomenal leaders who have successfully completed the final stage of our Principal Pipeline initiative, marking their first year as principals!
Collectively, this group brings a remarkable 580 years (yes, you read that right) of educational experience to the table, with each leader having served between 11 and 29 years in the field.
Throughout all four stages of the pipeline, they received targeted training as assistant principals, ongoing coaching and professional development, and hands-on experience to confidently transition into the principal role.
We’re so proud of their growth and excited to see the continued impact they’ll make across our schools!
