Do you have professional expertise and a wealth of experience to offer students, teachers, and families?

Would you like to lend your talents to local schools to prepare the next generation of citizens and workers?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then fasten your seat belt and answer the call to action in Principal’s Passion: A Quest for Quality Public Education. Susan Colton will guide you through a successful, common-sense process to transform our public schools. You will learn how to:
