A welcome message from AWSP Executive Director Scott Seaman. 

Welcome to the best job in the world! Congratulations on your appointment as a school or district leader! On behalf of the entire team at AWSP, AWSL, Cispus, and Outdoor Schools Washington, we would like to welcome you to the family. We take school leadership seriously and our role in making 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.
