Be A Tomball Principal For The Day
Parents, business owners and civic leaders are invited to serve as a "Principal Partner" in Tomball ISD on Thursday, Oct. 13.
This program allows community leaders to partner with a TISD principal and serve as a principal for the day.
Tomball ISD’s Chief Academic Officer Dr. Martha Salazar-Zamora explained the program increases awareness and understanding of the strengths and challenges of schools within the district. “This program encourages the private sector to demonstrate their commitment to ensuring a quality public education for all students. We’re looking forward to our third annual Principal Partners event,” Salazar-Zamora said.
On the day of the visit, the partners will spend time with the principal, faculty, and students sharing ideas and learning about the school’s day-to-day operations. A guest principal might teach a class, meet with student council members, attend student performances, read to students, shadow the principal, or address a class assembly.
Partners will be matched with an elementary, intermediate, junior high, or high school based on the participant’s area of expertise, interests, and the school’s needs. At the end of the visit, all guest principals will convene with the superintendent of schools and discuss their experiences and potential plans for future involvement with their host school at a luncheon to be held in their honor.
“We welcome community participation in our schools and we’re looking forward to working with those individuals who would like to serve as a Principal Partner,” Salazar-Zamora said.
