ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Silsbee ISD collaborates with Lamar University to form a Principal Leadership Program. The program is designed to build educational administrative leaders within the district.
Superintendent Dr. Gregg Weiss along with the Board of Trustees approved the new program during the May 2023 regular board meeting.
Candidates have the opportunity to participate in a one or two-year instructional program, tailored to their current degrees and certifications within Silsbee ISD. In collaboration with Lamar University, the district has crafted a comprehensive curriculum led by esteemed professors and district leaders. This unique blend of theory and practice will equip our future leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to enhance student engagement and performance.
