Principal for a Day

Principal for a Day (PFAD) is a unique annual experience that offers community members the opportunity to spend a morning with a Metro principal. As a Principal for a Day, guests will meet the school’s students and staff in a series of activities unique to each school. The day concludes with a luncheon for principals and their guest principals.

PENCIL’s Principal for a Day, presented by Amazon, will return on Thursday, November 19, 2026. More details about registration will be coming soon!
