What is 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.
