CICS Celebrates Our Assistant Principals

At CICS, we understand that it takes a village to build and sustain a thriving school community—and our assistant principals are the unsung heroes who lead by example every single day.

During National Assistant Principals Week, CICS is shining a spotlight on these educators who juggle multiple responsibilities with grace, grit, and determination. APs greet students by name before the morning bell, coach teachers, diffuse challenging situations, and champion positive and welcoming school cultures. In summary, APs do it all!

They’re not just administrators; APs are role models, mentors, and advocates for every student and staff member in our buildings. Their impact ripples far beyond the walls of their offices.

"Our assistant principals embody what it means to lead with strength, compassion, and high expectations," said Dr. Beth Purvis, CEO of CICS. "These leaders are essential to the CICS mission and play a critical role in building school communities where students and staff thrive. The CICS Board and network team are grateful every day for their dedication and heart."

We are thankful to every CICS assistant principal for your tireless commitment, your steady leadership, and your belief in what’s possible for our scholars. CICS schools are better because of you.

Happy Assistant Principals Week!
