ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Is School Leadership Your Next Step?

The Emerging Leaders Program brings together aspiring school principals and experienced educational leaders for an immersive three-day experience focused on the realities and rewards of today's principalship.

Through interactive sessions and candid conversations, participants explore what it takes to lead a school, consider their own readiness for the role, and build connections with highly successful assistant principals, principals, and superintendents.
