Kinnibrugh to Harvard Seminar
GCISD Secondary School Principal Misty Kinnibrugh has been selected to attend one of four leadership seminars this summer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Kinnibrugh is one of 100 principals from across the state of Texas to participate in the program, which was organized and sponsored by Raise Your Hand Texas.
“These principals represent our belief that quality campus leadership is crucial to the success of our public and public charter schools. What these individuals learn at Harvard ultimately will have a positive impact in our classrooms,” said Bill Ratliff, former Lt. Governor of Texas and Raise Your Hand Texas Chairman. “Our goal in making the selections was to achieve the best demographic mix we possibly could, in order to achieve the maximum impact possible statewide.”
One of the largest initiatives of its kind in the state, the Raise Your Hand Texas Leadership Program will cover the full cost of the Institute, hotel, air and provide funds for incidentals.
While participating at the Institutes, the principals will be asked to blog their professional experiences, views and news for hometown colleagues, community and family. Later this fall, the principals will convene at a statewide conference to share experiences and plan their future professional and leadership growth.
