Ingham ISD’s Principal for a Day program continues to strengthen community partnerships by inviting local business, civic, and nonprofit leaders to step into the role of a school principal. Ali Bennett joined Beekman Center’s Principal Angie Jackson and Assistant Principal Jessica Rodgers to experience the daily responsibilities of leading a school and to see the impactful work happening in classrooms.
By engaging leaders from outside the education field, the initiative fosters collaboration, builds awareness, and strengthens ties between schools and the broader community. Thank you to all who participated in this meaningful experience!
