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.

Testimonials

Being a part of MASSP has been pivotal in my growth as an administrator. Attending the conference has challenged my thinking, created networking opportunities, and created lasting collegial friendships that have made a huge difference in my leadership. The "take-aways" and follow up that one receives from this conference is second to none.

My membership in MASSP has been vital to my development as an educational leader. The networking opportunities have helped me to create a strong and active Professional Learning Network. Chris Fleming, principal Lewisburg High School.

MASSP Summer Conference is one of the highlights of the year. Getting together and reconnecting with educational leaders from all around our state is valuable tool in reenergizing my focus for the upcoming school year. Chris Fleming, principal Lewisburg High School.

Superintendent

It has been a great experience being a part of MASSP and attending the conferences. Personally I think the conferences are very well organized and very successful. Just to share a few things that MASSP has helped me be successful in is networking and expanding knowledge and finding solutions to problems. The conference gave me an opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with colleagues about what they were working on in their schools and gave me an opportunity to present my own work.
