Happy National Assistant Principal Appreciation Week! We LOVE our Assistant principal, Mrs. Moncrief! Thank you for all you do for us every day!

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!
Kindergarten: purple
1st Grade: blue
2nd Grade: orange
3rd Grade: red
4th Grade: pink
5th Grade: green
