October is Principal Appreciation Month

October is National Principals Month, a time to recognize and honor the incredible leadership of principals across the nation. Somerset County Public Schools proudly celebrates our principals who guide our schools with vision, dedication, and heart.

Principals play a vital role in shaping the educational experiences of our students. They work tirelessly to support teachers and staff, engage families, and create school communities where students can thrive academically and personally. Their leadership extends far beyond the classroom, as they serve as advocates for students and champions for public education.

Superintendent Dr. Ava Tasker-Mitchell shared her appreciation:
“Our principals are the backbone of our schools. Their commitment to student success, staff support, and family engagement makes a lasting impact on our entire community. We are grateful for their leadership and dedication.”
