Principal Fellowship Program
2024-25
Principal Fellowship
Building a community of support to create schools grounded in justice, love, joy, creativity, and anti-racism.
The 2024-25 Principal Fellowship will support 14 outstanding principals in developing an action plan that utilizes the arts for school-wide improvement. We are accepting applications from principals in Baltimore City and Baltimore, Prince George's, Montgomery, and Charles counties.
The program kicks off in September 2024. Early bird applications are due by June 28, 2024. The final deadline to apply is July 31, 2024.
You will learn and grow at every session. You will have so many tools added to your tool kit that will impact not only your life but also the lives of all members of your community. Not only will you be able to incorporate more art into your school, but this program also helps you incorporate more love and joy into your community. Your cup will be filled, and as principals, we need our cups filled now more than ever.”
