The 2024-2025 cohort of District Leadership Fellows has wrapped up their year-long program and it’s time to take a look back at their year.
27 school district leaders from Texas were welcomed into the eighth cohort of District Leadership Fellows. They represented districts ranging in size from less than 1000 students to over 60,000 students. Leaders from the Dallas-Fort Worth area were joined by those from Houston and east, west and south Texas.
“The District Leadership Fellows program offered me professional growth overall. By identifying my areas of strength as a leader and acknowledging the strengths of others on my team, we have shifted the way we lead in our district.” Mrs. Taylor Williams, Superintendent, Slidell ISD
