Hamilton County Schools holds Principal for a Day event

HAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF) – Hamilton County Schools hosted its fifth annual Leadership Principal for a Day event on Tuesday.  

As a part of this program, various cohort members in Hamilton County got to shadow a principal at different schools. 

News 12 went to Tyner Academy where Dylan Rivera with the Chattanooga Mayor’s Office acted as a principal for the day. 

Tyner Principal Dr. Tiffany Earvin says it is important as a principal to observe the classroom and connect with students. 

“It is essential that our community can see what happens inside of our schools. Not just based on what people say or think, but walking in the hallways, going into classrooms and observing teachers to see how our students interact with each other,” said Dr. Earvin. 

Dalewood Middle and East Ridge High School also participated in the Principal for a Day event.
