RYHT Leadership Program at Harvard

Recognizing that quality campus leadership is a key component to the success of public schools, a unique opportunity is being afforded to a group of public school principals from across the state of Texas. Raise Your Hand Texas announced a plan for 100 principals, representing a diverse cross-section of school district demographics, to attend one of three leadership seminars this summer at Harvard University.

The largest initiative of its kind in the state, Raise Your Hand Texas will send Texas principals to the Summer Institutes at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Recognized as the gold-standard of training, the Institutes will expose Texas public school leaders to the foremost national and international experts in the fields of education and leadership, as well as offer them a hands-on opportunity to work alongside renowned educators from across the country. Founded in 1981, The Principals' Center at the Harvard Graduate School of Education has dedicated itself to the support, development, and improvement of school principals.

We received over 400 applications for the Raise Your Hand Texas Leadership Program. At this point all positions for the program have been filled, and we will post a list of selected candidates shortly.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to submit an application to our program.
