Rhode Island Association of School Principals

VISION:  The Rhode Island Association of School Principals is the most recognized, influential, and respected organization of and for school leaders.

MISSION:  Through collaboration, advocacy, and professional growth opportunities, the Rhode Island Association of School Principals serves its members and the educational community by supporting, developing, and recognizing exceptional leadership.

Our membership includes the vast majority of Rhode Island’s principals, assistant principals, and deans who lead the state’s public and private schools.  In addition, many college professors, curriculum specialists, central office administrators, and state education officials are RIASP members, as are retired school principals.  Aspiring principals, including department chairs and lead teachers who are planning careers as building level instructional leaders, are also welcomed to join RIASP.

By partnering with our two national affiliates, the National Association of Elementary School Principals and the National Association of Secondary School Principals, RIASP is able to serve the needs of school leaders at every level – kindergarden through grade 12.   At RIASP, we support and assist instructional leaders who guide Rhode Island’s schools in their continued efforts to serve the needs of Rhode Island school children.

RIASP is proud to provide public officials, fellow educators, and the general public with the principal’s unique perspective on the critical educational issues of the day.  Building leadership has been acknowledged as the critical factor in the progress of all schools, and RIASP is proud to serve as the voice for Rhode Island’s school leaders.
