Oakland Unified Ends National Principals Month with a Thank You to All of our Wonderful School Leaders
We want to celebrate the more than 100 school leaders across the District, and thank them for all the work they do every day to make their schools the warm, welcoming, and joyful spaces they are. Principals run their schools, but it’s so much more than that. They set the academic tone, support teacher development, oversee daily operations, campus safety, and school budgets, and they implement curriculums that drive student achievement.
