🌟 Students Lead for a Day: Griffith Elementary Celebrates Student Principals

Griffith Elementary School in Dunlap recently gave two students a rare behind-the-scenes look at school leadership, inviting them to step into the principal’s role for a day. The experience offered these young leaders a chance to see firsthand what it takes to keep a school running smoothly.

📍 A Day in the Principal’s Chair

The two student principals-including one named Miss Kenzie, whose name appeared on office signage during the day-took on real responsibilities throughout their time in leadership. From making important decisions to helping guide the school, they experienced the full scope of what administrators do daily. 🎓 The students sat at the principal’s desk, worked with school technology, and gained insight into the behind-the-scenes operations that support learning and community.
