SCHOOL PRINCIPALS’ DAY – May 1
Mon May 1st

School Principals' Day

On School Principals' Day, remind the school's academic leaders on May 1st.

These educators pledge throughout the school year that they will guide our young people to a prosperous future. They support and guide quality teachers and employees, resulting in improved learning environments for our children. Whether they're leading an elementary, middle, or high school, a principal shows leadership skills while still being approachable. Many students see their principals as role models.

Principals lead academic achievement and set the tone for a whole school.. In most settings, they are a visible leader, as the students and teachers see daily.

Teachers rely on principals to ensure that the schools have the correct equipment and resources. They also depend on principals to advise and discipline students when necessary. A principal represents the school at community functions and meets with superintendents and community members, as well.

How to be aware of #schoolprincipalsday.

This day honors school principals, both old and present. Plan an event to honor your principal. Give them breakfast, coffee, or just a thank card, showing them that you appreciate all their time and patience with the children and parents. Give a shout out to a school principal who inspired you during your academic career.. To you, break out the yearbook and post a snapshot to let them know how important they were to you.

While you're at it, be sure to volunteer at your school. You're also supporting your principals in their endeavors by funding your school's extracurricular programs, such as band, choir, address, and athletics..
