Principal Testimonial

The Heart of the Schools has a tremendous effect on principal morale. In a city where principal turnover is high, the Heart of the Schools takes the time to recognize the work of schools that are making a difference in the lives of City Schools' students. The principalship is difficult and having an organization that is committed to supporting principals through awards and grants has been beneficial in boosting morale among principals.
