Reston, VA (Vocus) July 10, 2010
Six talented individuals from across the country have been named as finalists in the 2011 MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year Program. The search for the National Principal of the Year began in early 2010 as each state principal’s association selected its State Principal of the Year. From this pool of state award winners, a panel of judges selected three middle level and three high school finalists. The national middle level and high school winners will be named in September and recognized in Washington, DC, during the Principals' Institute for State and National Principals of the Year, September 29–October 2, 2010.
"NASSP strives to identify and showcase the best principals across the nation so we can capture and share their effective practices,'' said NASSP Executive Director Gerald N. Tirozzi. ''This year's pool of finalists offer a great deal of experience and expertise from which practitioners and policymakers alike can glean valuable insights."
These individuals are recognized for their accomplishments as high-achieving principals, all the while making a daily investment in our nation’s future. The finalists are:
Each finalist will receive a $1,500 grant and the two national award winners -- one high school and one middle level -- will receive additional grants of $3,500. The grants will be used to improve learning at the school (e.g. a special school project and/or professional development opportunities).
The National Association of Secondary School Principals and MetLife are strongly committed to supporting the visions of unsung school leaders. For more information about the MetLife/NASSP State and National Principal of the Year Program and winners, please visit http://www.principals.org/poy .
