In 2016, the decision to chose one (1) Secondary Principal of the Year was made rather than having one winner in the Middle School category and one winner in the High School category and this will be the procedure going forward.
RI High School Principal of the YearEach year RIASP selects a Rhode Island High School Principal of the year who then becomes eligible for consideration as the National High School Principal of the Year. The NASSP National Principal of the Year award program annually recognizes outstanding school leaders who have succeeded in providing high-quality learning opportunities for students. These principals are acknowledged by their peers for the exemplary contributions they have made to the profession. The program honors school principals who have demonstrated excellence in collaborative leadership; curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and personalization. Anyone may nominate an eligible principal – a superintendent, a principal, a teacher, a parent, a student. | PREVIOUS RECIPIENTS High School Principal of the Year 2005 - Gerald Foley - North Kingstown High School 2006 - Robert Mitchell - Chariho Regional High School 2007 - Colleen Gribbin - St. Mary's Academy Bay View 2008 - Robert Littlefield - Portsmouth High School 2009 - Daniel Warner - Narragansett High School 2010 - Patti DiCenso - Rogers High School 2011 - Dennis Mullen - Pilgrim High School 2012 - Daniel Kelley - Smithfield High School 2013 - Michael Hobin - Coventry High School 2014 - Scott Sutherland - Mount Pleasant High School 2015 - Alan J.
