Congratulations to the 2019 NAESP
National Distinguished PrincipalsEach year, NAESP’s National Distinguished Principals® (NDP) program honors outstanding elementary and middle-level administrators for setting high standards for instruction, student achievement, character, and climate for the students, families, and staffs in their learning communities.
NAESP NDPs represent pre-K through grade 8 public schools from all across the country, as well as principals in U.S. private schools and the U.S. Department of State Office of Overseas Schools. Public school elementary and middle-level principals are nominated by peers in their state, and final selections are made by committees appointed by each of NAESP’s state affiliate offices. Honorees from private schools and overseas schools are selected by special committees.
NAESP is proud to welcome these school leaders to the 2019 class of National Distinguished Principals. To learn more about this year’s class, visit naesp.org/NDP19.
