MESPA members selected 12 of their peers to receive the 2009 MESPA
Division Leadership Achievement Award. This is an annual recognition
with which principals honor their peers. Principals are responsible for
a school’s instructional, school culture, and resource leadership. The
award honors principals whose exemplary leadership and sustained
efforts have made noteworthy contributions to the operation of
effective school learning programs -- improving education, their
communities, and their profession.
“Great principals lead great schools. These men and women are leaders in our profession and truly represent the very best in Minnesota public schools. As leaders, we focus on the potential and possibilities to ignite hope within our schools,” said P. Fred Storti, MESPA executive director. The awards were presented on February 5,
2009, at the association’s 54th Institute (annual statewide
convention).
