Huge congratulations to Lakeesha Burton on becoming the new Principal of Kenwood Elementary! Wishing you an incredible journey shaping young minds and building a thriving school community!

What's that one big goal you've been putting off? This image says it all: "Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try." As leaders, let's inspire ourselves and our teams to take that first step. What are you trying today?

A special thank you for the fantastic Simmons College of Kentucky swag that served as a wonderful door prize for our dedicated attendees at the Assistant Principals Professional Learning Series! We value our partnership in fostering educational leadership.

The heartbeat of a school is its culture, and that beat is set by leadership. ❤️ As leaders, understanding your influence and leading with emotional intelligence (EQ) is paramount. Be the positive force that shapes an inclusive and thriving environment for all.

Inspire and empower! ✨ This powerful reminder from Ken Blanchard highlights a crucial aspect of effective leadership: it's about channeling positive influence, not controlling it. Let your leadership be a force for good.

What truly fuels your work in education? Simon Sinek's profound insight applies deeply to leadership. When you know your 'why,' your actions become clearer and more impactful. Inspire your team and school community by connecting to your core purpose!

To truly lead, we must first listen. Engaging with the diverse voices of our school community – staff, students, & families – provides crucial perspectives that inform and enrich our leadership. Let's commit to listen, learn, and then lead in a way that reflects the needs of all.

A big congratulations to Torri L. Martin, the new Principal of Wilder Elementary School! Welcome to your new leadership role within JCPS. Looking forward to your contributions!

Congratulations, Uriah Tolbert, on your new role as Principal of Indian Trail Elementary School! We're excited to see the positive impact and strong leadership you'll bring to the students, staff, and families at Indian Trail.

☀️ Educator leaders, recharge & reignite this summer! Three quick tips for an impactful summer: 1. Curate inspiring leadership reads/podcasts. 2. Connect with peers for innovative idea exchange 3. Prioritize Self-Care & Learning: Balance relaxation with professional development

Educator leaders, summer = opportunity! Invest in yourself by focusing on leadership development, refining soft skills, and prioritizing rest. A stronger you means a stronger impact.

☀️ Wishing you a fantastic summer! Enjoy the sunshine and make some amazing memories.

The school year's finish line is in sight! Plans might evolve, but our unwavering goal remains the same: empowering every student. Let's keep that at the heart of all we do.
