Celebrating Great Principals Who Inspire Great Schools

 

Great Schools Have Great Principals - National Principals Month - October 2023

Join us in celebrating the great JPS principals who ware inspiring great schools throughout our district.

Why is October one of our favorite months of the school year? October is National Principals Month and gives us an opportunity to celebrate the unsung heroes of our schools. Throughout the month, we celebrate our principals for the vital roles they play in inspiring excellence in our schools among teachers, staff, scholars, parent partners, and the community.

We humbly solicit your participation in this significant opportunity to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of school principals. The American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA), the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), proudly facilitate this annual program through hosting online resources that help individuals and groups to celebrate, recognize, and advocate for school principals. Feel free to share our posts on Facebook and Twitter or use one of the National Principals Month e-cards. Be sure to add #ThankAPrincipal to whatever you post.

Every October, National Principals Month shines a spotlight on the transformative power of school principals. This monthlong celebration and advocacy work are a shared endeavor between the AFSA, NAESP, and the NASSP who are committed to future-proofing the profession of school administrators.
