"My Principal Matters" Award

The National AfterSchool Association "My Principal Matters” Awards Program recognizes excellence in school leadership and celebrates highly effective after-school collaborative relationships between preK-12 principals, assistant principals and after-school program leaders. The program honors principals who have exhibited extraordinary commitment to their students and staff, service to their communities, and contributions to the after-school profession, including their professional associations.

The NAA "My Principal Matters” Award Program is designed to be a local-level event to honor exemplary principals who share effective collaborative relationships with before- and after-school personnel and show strong commitment to the development of high-quality extended learning opportunities for children and youth in their learning community. Being recognized with a NAA "My Principal Matters” award is a prestigious accomplishment. The celebratory event should be shared with the local media, school boards, parent groups, and the state and national after-school community.

The NAA "My Principal Matters” awards ceremonies take place in schools and communities across the national annually during the month of May at the discretion of each nominator.
