‘Principal TODAY’ Continues Annual Tradition, Returns to In-Person Visits

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) held its 28th annual Principal TODAY yesterday, with more than 400 principals and community leaders participating. This is one of M-DCPS’ signature programs, which focuses on developing partnerships that support public education. The program returned to in-person school visits after being held virtually last year.

As is the case every year, school principals had the option to choose a partner or be paired with one through outreach to local chambers and the business community at-large.

“This annual event allows us to showcase the magic happening in our schools while forming partnerships that result in internships and mentoring for the benefit of our students,” said Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho. “It also gives us an opportunity to have an open conversation with the business community around topics such as academic support, advocacy and workforce development, which is a win-win for public education and our community.”

Individuals “stepping into the shoes” of the principal ranged from CEOs of for-profit and non-profit organizations, as well as elected officials and members of the media. For photos from yesterday’s event, search the hashtag #PrincipalToday on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.   

The event was held in partnership with long-standing sponsor Bank of America.
