Aretta Terry Chosen for Leadership Institute for School Principals Class of 2023 -2024
FRANKFORT, Ky.— A Marshall County principal is set to begin a year-long executive-level leadership training course usually reserved for the nation’s top CEOs. Aretta Terry, Principal of Sharpe Elementary School, was selected in March to participate in the Kentucky Chamber Foundation’s Leadership Institute for School Principals by an advisory board made up of business leaders and school superintendents.
Terry, one of 44 selected principals, will begin attending classes this summer at the Truist Leadership Institute in Greensboro, North Carolina, in partnership with the Kentucky Chamber Foundation. The Truist Leadership Institute has customized a program to meet the specific leadership development needs of school administrators. Principals will also attend follow-up sessions in the fall and early next year in Kentucky.
Elementary, middle, and high school principals from across Kentucky representing both public and private schools applied for the institute, which is supported by generous donations from businesses across the state.
Since the program began in 2011, more than $3.5 million has been spent on over 500 principals from 105 Kentucky counties.
Terry was thrilled to be chosen for the Leadership Institute, adding “It’s such an honor to have the opportunity to learn and grow as a leader with others throughout the state.”
