I am a DCPS Principal

Our principals are talented, dedicated leaders who have the skills and experience to lead our schools and the desire to help transform DCPS into the highest performing urban school district in the nation—for all of our students.

We are proud to shine a light on these inspiring leaders who: 

• Are passionate about student achievement and closing the achievement gap.
• Believe that the urgency of closing this gap is too great to accept excuses of any kind
• Motivate and support their teachers and staff while holding all adults in the building accountable for ensuring student success.
