For more than 103 years, the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals has championed and supported school leaders across Texas. Each summer, the TASSP Summer Workshop brings together thousands of principals, assistant principals, and educational leaders for professional growth, recognition, collaboration, and connection.

Learning, celebration, networking, and support are the hallmarks of a great conference, and TASSP once again delivered an exceptional experience.

A special thank you to Billy Pringle and the outstanding TASSP officers and staff for their warm hospitality and leadership. It was an honor to present "Whose Permission Are You Waiting For?" and "Principal Matters: The Courage, Motivation, Action, and Teamwork Needed for School Leaders."

Until next school year, I wish all my Texas friends (and the many wonderful podcast listeners I met) a well-deserved, restful, and wonderful summer!
