Leadership Academy

 LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

The Office for Catholic Schools and the Fulcrum Foundation offer the Leadership Academy, a yearlong leadership development program for aspiring and new principals. Recognized Catholic school leaders and shareholders will teach courses in managerial, academic, spiritual, and strategic leadership. Working in solidarity to ensure a system of excellent Catholic schools, the Leadership Academy will provide the knowledge, skills, strategies and best practices for current and future school leaders.

See the dates and registrations for our meetings below.

NEW! We will have some leadership opportunities in our Catholic schools to witness how leadership can be applied managerially, academically, spiritually and strategically. 

If you are interested in the Leadership Academy for the 2019-2020 academic year, contact Kelly Surapaneni at KSurapaneni@fulcrumfoundation.org.
