Aspiring Leaders Program
Bulloch County Schools' Aspiring Leaders Program is designed to support our school system's aspiring employee leaders. The classes are taught by JoAnn Brown of the Georgia Leadership Institute for School Improvement. The program provides an understanding of how a strong sense of our district’s essentials of leadership along with professional skills and competencies help to shape effectiveness as a leader.
Aspiring Leaders are current assistant principals or teacher leaders who are preparing for future leadership roles within Bulloch County Schools. Aspiring Leaders have the capability to make a significant difference in the current and future performance of student achievement and organizational effectiveness within our school district.
