    Overview of the School Principal Program
     
    Current research consistently indicates that the principal plays a vital role in determining the quality of his/her school. To quote Roland Barth, “leadership—making happen that in which you believe”, mirrors the philosophy of our district. This statement of belief along with the dynamic, changing needs of our district, demand that we create and nurture a successful School Principal Leadership Development Program.
