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 18 from 9 – 11 a.m., with lunch to follow at Bridgewater Place at 11:30 a.m.

Registration will be open from Tuesday, October 14 through Monday, November 10.

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.

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.
