Principal for a Day
What is
the Principal for a Day project?
The Principal for the day project
encourages the private sector to take a leadership role
in public education through having the opportunity to
play the role of Principal for one day. The goal of the
program is for community and business stakeholders to
translate their one day experience into a long-term
relationship with the school thus supporting the overall
academic achievement of students.
Who
participates in the Principal for a Day project?
Passionate individuals who wish to
translate their passion into action through partnering
with a public school; have expertise and interests that
can benefit the school community; and are willing to
leverage professional and personal resources to support
their partner school’s needs to increase student
well-being.
What is
the schedule and time commitment for the Principal for a
Day project?
Once an individual completes the
application to participate and is approved, arrangements
will be made for the individual to be matched with a
school. Start times will vary depending on the various
schools selected. Participants will be given an
orientation packet prior to the event. Following the
school visits, a Pseudo-Principal
celebration/de-briefing will occur at the Duval
County Public Schools Administration Building, 1701
Prudential Drive, in room 613. All participants are
encouraged to attend.
May I
choose which school to partner with?
