The landscape of education has shifted dramatically, with principals everywhere embracing innovation and technology solutions in order to adapt to their changing circumstances. Digital leadership has never been more important, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) is calling on trailblazing school leaders to apply for the 2021 NASSP Digital Principal of the Year Award.

Now is the time to encourage the outstanding school leaders in your state to share how they leveraged technology and found solutions to meet the diverse needs of their students and teachers. Applicants must:

• Have served as a middle level or high school principal for three or more consecutive years
• Be a principal, headmaster, or leader of a middle level or high school from one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Department of Defense Education Activity, or the U.S. Department of State Office of Overseas Schools

Award recipients receive:

• Complimentary registration to the 2021 National Principals Conference, July 15–17
• Opportunities to present at conferences and educational events on behalf of NASSP
