    MEMORANDUM
    TO:
    District School Superintendents
    FROM:
    John L. Winn
    SUBJECT:
    2006 Principal Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership
    On behalf of the Florida Department of Education, I would like to personally thank those of you who
    participated in the 2006 Principal Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership. We honor this
    elite group of school administrators who are recognized for their exemplary contributions to
    Florida’s students, schools, and communities. Through their innovative leadership and dedication
    to academic excellence, Florida’s schools have increased student performance and established
    safe learning environments for our children.
    This year, 26 districts participated in the Principal Achievement Award for Outstanding Leadership
    program.
    The task of identifying regional winners in each category from the extraordinary
    nominees submitted was very challenging. The nominees were judged on their accomplishments
    in increasing student performance levels, establishing community partnerships and parental
    involvement, providing assistance for at-risk and special needs students, and developing
    innovative strategies that have had a positive impact on the school and learning environment. The
    selection committee included principals, assistant principals and teachers from around the state.
    The state winners will be announced at the Commissioner’s Summit for Principals, hosted by the
    Florida Department of Education and the Florida Association of School Administrators (FASA).
    This annual event, which will be held in Tampa, Florida, on September 13-14, is also our venue to
    honor all of the outstanding nominees, provide networking opportunities, share common ideas, and
    gain insight regarding best practices from national education leaders. We are proud to announce
    the regional finalists listed on the following page.
    If you submitted an individual who was
    selected as a regional finalist, please strongly encourage him or her to attend this event.
    Once again, thank you for your continued participation in this important recognition program. If you
    have any questions regarding our programs or the upcoming event, please feel free to contact
    Bonita Hampton at (850) 245-0544 or via email at Bonita.Hampton@fldoe.org.
