Quote for the Principal's Journey
"Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen."
Pete Carroll, Head Coach Seattle Seahawks
Update From the Executive Director

All of us need a little nudge at times. The 84th Annual Fall Conference can provide you that "little nudge, direction, support, and coaching" that Coach Carroll talks about.

Whether you are aspiring, emerging, developing, or transformational, wherever you are on the “Principal’s Journey”, it really is a “matter of principal(ple).” Clark Mershon
