The Principals Month proclamation reads
As school leaders, principals are entrusted with our most valuable resource - our next
generation of leaders. These students are our promise for the future, and it is critical
that they receive a rigorous and well-rounded education.
Through the work of First Lady Cecilia Abbott, a former teacher, vice principal and
principal, Iv'e seen firsthand how principals are more than just caretakers of their
schools. Principals are expected to be educational leaders, disciplinarians, community
builders, spokesmen, budget analysts and guardians of policy mandates and initiatives.
Principals set the academic tone for their schools and work collaboratively with teachers
to set performance objectives and maintain high curriculum standards.
Each year, organizations nationwide designate the month of October as a time to
recognize the contributions of elementary, middle and high school principals.
At this time, I encourage all Texans to acknowledge the important role principals play in
ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education.
Therefore, I, Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, do hereby proclaim October 2016 to be
Principal's Month in Texas, and urge the appropriate recognition whereof.
In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my signature this the 20th day of
September, 2016.
