Welcome to the best job in the world! Congratulations on your appointment as a school or district leader!

We take school leadership seriously, and our role is to make sure you have support during every step of your leadership journey.
The Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP) has been in existence since 1972 and proudly supports principals and the principalship in the education of each and every student in the state. We are the premier principal organization in the country, serving as education advocates, mentors, and visionaries for our schools and communities. Our organization works with pride and dedication, supporting our leaders with high-quality programs, professional learning, and advocacy as we shape the minds of future generations.
Your leadership matters. Your leadership will leave a legacy and forever impact. Don’t ever underestimate the power of your influence on an entire school community.
