What These Retiring Principals Will Never Forget
By Denisa R. Superville
Many principals spend more than 60 hours a week doing school-related work.
Classroom observations. Basketball games. School bus duties. Hallway high-fives with students. Meetings. Meetings. Meetings.
Those activities add up to countless hours and encounters over a career, with each encounter leaving behind a unique imprint.
