Happy National Assistant Principals Week! We have amazing AP’s at our secondary schools in Utah!

Our student leaders in the UASC have done a great job representing secondary schools this year. They recently spent time at the Capital talking with reps from the Governors office as well as Legislators about issues students are facing today. Applications due 3/31 for 2024 UASC.

Executive board members from UASSP and UAESP participated in the Advocacy Conference this week in Washington DC. We met with US Legislators from Utah as well as the US Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona. #principalsadvocate
