The month of October is National Principals Month, during which the Los Fresnos CISD celebrates its exceptional campus leaders who embody passion and purpose in their leadership. This month serves as an opportunity to recognize the significant impact of school principals. As dedicated leaders, they play a vital role in guiding students and staff toward success and contributing to shaping our communities.

The role of a principal extends beyond administrative duties, influencing all aspects of a school that profoundly affect students’ lives. Principals face unique challenges, such as managing diverse student needs and navigating complex administrative tasks, highlighting the importance of our support and understanding.

In addition to celebrating and appreciating the dedication of our principals, National Principals Month advocates for strategic support. Your support is crucial in enabling principals to thrive and advocating for policy changes that positively impact schools, students, and staff. Your role in this advocacy is invaluable and greatly appreciated, making you a crucial part of this effort.

This advocacy and celebration are a collective effort involving the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the National Association of Secondary School Principals, and the American Federation of School Administrators. It is a shared responsibility to support and celebrate our school principals, and your role in this collective effort is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

These organizations are committed to supporting and uplifting the cornerstone of our educational system: our school principals. The National Association of Elementary School Principals provides resources and high-quality learning aligned with leadership standards, supporting school leaders in providing students with a well-rounded education.

The mission of the National Association of Secondary School Principals is to cultivate a new generation of school and student leaders to rebuild and reimagine an education system that meets all student needs by providing equal access and opportunity.

The American Federation of School Administrators is the only national education union for school administrators, providing professional services, labor relations, and support for its members. It also promotes the occupational, economic, and professional interests of public school administrators, principals, and supervisors nationwide.

Every school’s success is reliant on its principals, and the Los Fresnos CISD is fortunate to have dedicated principals at every campus who are committed to ensuring that students and staff have the support and resources to excel in school and life.
