Each year the Principals' Training Center (PTC) celebrates the graduation of participants from our Principals' Training Center, Teacher Leader Institutes, Counselor Training Center, English as an Additional Language Program, and Teacher Training Center. Each graduation certificate is recognized by international schools as evidence of a commitment to personal and professional growth. It is also a recognition of the research-based, practical skills and strategies that participants have learned to prepare them to continue on their leadership journey. The PTC honors these leaders and aspiring leaders for their engagement. This year, we were excited to celebrate both our in-person and online graduates. As we say each day we are together, "Go forth and lead!"
