Principal for a Day serves as an opportunity to connect our schools and administrators to community leaders and businesses. This has been a cherished tradition within our community and has created great partnerships from the connections made year after year.
Principal for a Day is Tuesday, November 17 from 9 – 11 a.m., with lunch to follow at Bridgewater Place at 11:30 a.m.
Registration will be open from Thursday, October 1 through Friday, October 23.
Please note: Knox County Schools groups schools by region based on feeder pattern and proximity. Partners in Education will be placing Principal for a Day participants based on region and grade band requests this year, rather than by specific school requests. Learn more about what schools are in each region by visiting https://www.knoxschools.org/about/regions.
Registration for the event is free. If you would like to support Partners in Education’s efforts to put on this important community event, you will have the option to pay for your lunch. Please register using the form below:
You will be notified of your school assignment by Friday, November 14.
As you participate in Principal for a Day, we encourage you to discuss the schools’ needs with the principal and see how you can build a partnership to help prepare the future workforce by supporting excellence in education in Knox County.
