What is Principal for a Day?
Principal for a Day (PFAD) is a business and school community partnership event with the goal of translating one day experiences into long term partnerships that help schools and support students. This is an opportunity for business leaders to walk the halls, ask questions, sit in on classes, and learn first hand the accomplishments and challenges from a principal’s perspective. School principals will be able tell their school’s story and share their experiences with a respected community member desiring to help.
Who participates in Principal for a Day?
Principals for a Day are members of the New Orleans’ community who have an interest in the local school system. In order to connect the business community and the school community, the participants are usually business leaders or recognized members of the community.
