Outstanding Wisconsin Leadership Award For the last nine years, AWSA has worked with the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation to help facilitate the Principal Leadership Award.

🚨 WI Educators! See you June 25-26 in Madison for the Creating a Culture of Excellence for All Conference! 🔥

Join us in celebrating our 2026 Principals of the year! Catherine Loss, Lloyd Barbee Elementary in Milwaukee, Jamie Thomas, Indian Mound Middle School in McFarland and Russ Gerke, West De Pere High School. Their dedication to students, staff, and community, along with their commitment to continuous improvement, exemplifies outstanding school leadership!

Assistant principals are the steady leaders behind the scenes—supporting teachers, guiding students, strengthening school culture, and helping principals lead thriving school communities.
This week we celebrate the incredible assistant principals who show up every day ready to solve problems, lift others up, and keep schools moving forward. Join us in recognizing these dedicated school leaders.

Congratulations from AWSA to these exceptional leaders and teachers!
