The
Principals’ Partnership was created, by officials
at Union Pacific in 2001, based on national research showing
that highly skilled principals are a critical factor in
the success of high school students. However, Union Pacific
discovered that despite the tremendous influence principals
have on students, teachers, parents and communities, there
were few, if any, leadership programs specifically targeted
to high school principals.
Education professionals were enlisted by Union Pacific
(UP) to design a unique principals’ program
that would emphasize leadership development, encourage
information sharing and promote innovative strategies
to improve public education. The result was The Principals’ Partnership.
Public high school principals from states served
by UP were invited to be a part of the program, and
with their membership, they receive year-round self-directed
assistance from some of the nation’s top education
professionals. Principals have access to a comprehensive
website created to share best practices in education. This
website is open to all educators, even if they’re
not members of the Principal’s Partnership program.
UP also sponsors an annual Summer Leadership
Institute, where principals come together to hear from nationally known speakers
and, most importantly, to network with each other.
