Empowering Leaders' Symposium 2026

As school leaders advancing HCPS's Journey to 2030, principals play a key role in sustaining school-community partnerships. This session highlights how impact committees create shared accountability, align resources, and embed partnership work into school systems. Participants will gain practical strategies to activate and sustain collaboration that supports student and family motivation and engagement.

Stop "doing" school improvement and start leading it. In this 75-minute interactive workshop, school leaders will transform the bi-weekly monitoring template from a compliance hurdle into a high-leverage coaching tool. We will bridge the gap between your School Needs Assessment and the Virginia School Performance & Support Framework (SPSF) by designing your first high-impact PDSA cycle. Whether you are aiming to climb to the next performance category or solidify your "Distinguished" status, you will leave with a concrete action plan and a refined focus on the small changes that drive big results.
