About
As the visionary leader and engineer of all efforts which impact students in their building,
the principal has a unique role. MASSP was created in the late 1960’s to further the growth and development
of secondary school principals in Mississippi by providing them with resources and tools necessary to build
leadership skills. For over 50 years, MASSP has assisted countless principals and assistant principals across
the state to become better leaders in their respective schools and communities; and has been instrumental
in providing information and guidance for educational enrichment and development.
Together, MASSP and NASSP provide a strong and dynamic voice for principals, promoting excellence in school
leadership. While MASSP communicates directly with policy makers in Jackson, NASSP represents your interests
to the U.S. Congress, the administration, and the national media. MASSP and NASSP also represent your interests
on numerous state and national task forces.
