District Celebrates National Principals Month
The School District of Palm Beach County is proud to join the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the National Association of Secondary School Principals in celebrating National School Principals Month!
We thought it would be nice to have a little fun while celebrating our amazing PBCSD principals. Throughout the month of October, we'll profile our newest principals, principals with the longest tenure and principals who have graduated from Palm Beach County schools. If you are a school principal and would like to be featured, send us a selfie, your education/work history and two fun facts about yourself. Stay tuned - we'll share your photos and stories in upcoming editions of The Link!
Follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and share your appreciation with your favorite principal using #ThankAPrincipal. We look forward to retweeting and sharing your stories!
