Who We Are
Founded in 1981, The Principals’ Center (TPC) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) is committed to the support and development of school leaders around the world. Through professional development programs and an extensive learning community, TPC assists principals in leading change to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
Supporting You Now
In the face of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the worldwide demonstrations calling for racial and social justice, TPC and Professional Education are committed to providing professional development opportunities to support school principals. In response to educator feedback, we have developed several new online programs and resources to meet the current needs of school leaders.
