NAESP grieves alongside the Bend, Oregon, community following the heartbreaking loss of a teacher and three students at Silver Rail Elementary School. Read our full statement below.

Greetings from DC from our wonderful NAESP NDPs and Board members!✨ #naespNDP #WeAreNAESP

Tonight at our welcome reception celebrating our NDP’s, we asked a few of them what NAESP means to them. How would they describe it? We limited it to just one (or two) words but that was the hardest part—summing up what you get to experience as a NAESP member, partner and friend runs deep. Here, you’re supported. Here, you find connection. Here, you find your family. Here, you’re home. It’s simple really — #WeAreNAESP ✨ #naespNDP #NationalPrincipalsMonth

While #HispanicHeritageMonth may be coming to a close, the celebration doesn’t end. We hope this month was filled with celebrating the richness of culture, students and community. To every school leader that embraces the many voices represented in schools, thank you.✨ #WeAreNAESP #SchoolLeadership

We would say someone is cutting onions but the truth is: your impact matters. 🥹 Hearing the stories behind our NAESP 2026 National Distinguished Principals helps move the work forward with intention, care and kindness. We are so proud to celebrate all of you! #naespNDP #WeAreNAESP

The best part of NDP is always the people.✨ Thank you to the school leaders who joined us for the Meet & Greet and helped create an afternoon filled with meaningful connections and inspiring conversations. Connection is at the heart of what we do. We loved celebrating, connecting, and building community with school leaders from across the country. As it’s said, Once a NDP, ALWAYS a NDP! 💙 #naespNDP #WeAreNAESP
