MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award
Annual Recognition

The Division Leadership Award is an annual recognition made by each MESPA division. The award expresses appreciation to the many outstanding men and women in the principalship who have contributed generously to improving education, their communities, and their profession. They serve as role models and sources of inspiration to other principals and educators.

The award honors those principals within each division who, through individual leadership and sustained effort, have made noteworthy contributions to the operation of effective school learning programs and to the advancement of the role of the elementary and middle level principal.
