Principal Appreciation Campaign

2023 Principal Appreciation Campaign

This is the eighth year of Chicago’s citywide Principal Appreciation Campaign, in which we join forces with school communities, city officials, and corporate leaders to lift up the great work of our hardworking school leaders. The theme of this year’s celebration is Transformational Leadership. We know that Chicago principals serve as a positive force for change in their schools, encouraging their teams and inspiring students as they work together to build knowledge and skills. The Principal Appreciation Campaign is a terrific opportunity to celebrate the remarkable impact of school leaders on our shared future.

2023 Principal Appreciation Event

In October, The Fund will host a culminating event as a part of our Principal Appreciation Campaign. We will invite principals out of their school buildings to enjoy one another’s company for a storytelling event at the Field Museum. Check out the details below!
