It is National Assistant Principals Week (April 6â10, 2026)!
Today, weâre pulling back the curtain to celebrate the leaders who keep our schools running smoothly from behind the scenes.
Assistant Principals are the ultimate multi-taskers. They are the "heartbeat of the school," often the first to arrive and the last to leave. Their dedication ensures that our classrooms remain spaces where students feel safe, seen, and inspired to learn.
Shoutout to our assistants, Mrs. Crosby and Mr. Rhynes! #WeAreBenton
