Eight Fulton County Schools administrators have been recognized as "High Performance Principals," by Governor Sonny Perdue and State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox.
A total of 112 principals statewide were acknowledged for overseeing dramatic improvement in student achievement in their schools last year.
To make the list, principals must be the catalyst for improvement at a low-performing school or take a high-performing school to an even higher level; have been at the school for three consecutive years and be recommended by their school system.
The High Performance program started in 2006 to identify excellence in school leadership. Since its inception 19 Fulton County principals have been recognized. Four of the eight 2008 honorees, Sonia Terry, Steven Curry, Elizabeth Fogartie and Ed Spurka, have been recognized each year since the program began.
