October was National Principals Month and the Portland Public Schools took that opportunity to shine a spotlight on our principals and also on our lead teachers at Reiche Elementary School, a teacher-led school. All of them are super! We celebrate and appreciate them not only at this time but always. To showcase them, we asked our principals and lead teachers to answer five questions about themselves and their leadership role. We also asked what superpower they'd like to have to aid in their jobs. We featured each participating principal and lead teacher individually on our website and social media.
