Be A Principal For A Day In Cobb County

The county is now accepting applications for Principal For A Day.

Cobb Chamber:The Cobb Chamber has opened applications for its Principal for a Day program, which will take place from Monday, Sept. 30, through Friday, Oct. 4, in Cobb County and Marietta City Schools districts.

The Principal for a Day programs offers a unique, behind-the-scenes experience into the public education system, one of Cobb County’s strongest assets. Participants will meet one-on-one with one of Cobb County or Marietta City’s outstanding principals to gain firsthand knowledge of the challenges and strengths local schools face on a daily basis, as well as the opportunities available for local businesses to provide value and assistance. While shadowing a principal, participants will also meet with school faculty and spend time in the classroom with students.

The program requires the commitment of a half workday, and the principal and participant will connect at the beginning of the week to select a date. For more information, visit cobbchamber.org or contact Jani Dix at 770-859-2335 or jdix@cobbchamber.org.
