Ashley Cross, Principal
"Through my experience with LEAD, I learned how to really use data to analyze needs in my building and make informed decisions and next steps to address the needs. I was pressed with thought provoking questions that challenged and deepened my thinking as a leader, and I formed a personal mission statement that continues to focus the work I do each and every day as a principal."
Cora Fisher, Assistant Principal
"Being a part of LEAD afforded many growth opportunities that equipped me to take on my role as an assistant principal. With my peers in the program, we were able to reflect on the decisions leaders make that have the greatest impact on student achievement, as well as on how to lead with a clear and compelling mission and vision. We studied some of the best strategies to recruit and retain irreplaceable educators and gained a greater understanding of the impact teacher diversity has on student learning. Participation in this program has provided me with the confidence to lead in the best interest of Hamilton County students."
David Cory, Principal
"The LEAD program created the opportunity to grow both my leadership mindset and network of support with other administrators. When Hamilton County talks about growing leaders, this program is a testament to the county's dedication for equipping people to help students and staff thrive."
Jacob Glancy, Assistant Principal
"LEAD contextualized the roles and responsibilities of school leaders within the district’s leadership framework while also exposing aspiring leaders like myself to Central Office leaders and resources. That exposure and access has opened many doors and has come into quick use as a first-year Assistant Principal to meet many on-demand, on-time needs."
