This spring, the Ingham Area Principals’ Network convened at the MSU Wharton Center for a dynamic day of professional growth and collaboration. Hosted in partnership with the Wharton Center’s Arts Education team, the event spotlighted how arts integration can enrich classroom instruction and foster deeper student understanding across content areas.
Participants enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the Wharton Center, learned about creative teaching strategies, and engaged in valuable conversations with fellow administrators from across the region. The event underscored the importance of collaboration, shared leadership, and the arts as a bridge to student engagement and achievement.
By supporting both innovative instruction and professional networking, the Principals’ Network continues to empower local school leaders with tools, inspiration, and connections that make a lasting impact.
