The 2010 MetLife/NASSP National Principals of the Year
Sheila Kahrs Haymon-Morris Middle School (GA)	Lucy Beckham Wando High School (SC)

The MetLife/NASSP National Principal of the Year program began in 1993 as a means to recognize outstanding middle level and high school principals. The program annually honors secondary school principals who have succeeded in providing high-quality learning opportunities for students as well as demonstrating exemplary contributions to the profession.

Selection Process
Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense Education Activity select one middle level and one high school principal to represent their state. From these state winners, six finalists are named as contenders for the
National Principal of the Year award.

The 2011 MetLife/NASSP National Principals of the Year (one middle level and one high school) will be selected from among the finalists and will receive a $5,000 grant. The four finalists receive a $1,500 grant.

Recognition
MetLife and NASSP honor all State Principals of the Year at the Principal’s Institute and Awards Banquet held each year in Washington, DC. The Institute not only salutes the principalship but also provides a forum for honorees to share best practices and expertise.
