MoASSP is the only Association in Missouri serving the professional needs of principals and assistant principals of the state’s middle-level and high schools with programs designed by secondary school administrators for secondary school administrators. MoASSP serves as a true proponent for the principalship by providing a voice for secondary school administrators where educational decisions are made. MoASSP members guide and direct the efforts of its officers, staff, and representatives in a manner conducive to the maintenance and improvement of the professional position of the principalship.
Members are the lifeblood of MoASSP and are a source of leadership. MoASSP members are a testament to the success of your professional organization. The belief and support of what we do as a professional association of middle-level and high school principals and assistant principals is strong in Missouri. In this period of economic uncertainty, your support matters to MoASSP as we are involved in many areas of Missouri education with an emphasis on state laws and administrative policies, member legal advocacy, and professional development. The strategies demanded from this are deliberate and effective.
Over 80% of MoASSP memberships are paid by the school districts. If your dues are not paid talk with your central office personnel about making your professional dues a benefit of your employment.
The MoASSP Board and staff are committed to working hard to continue to improve member benefits and services. A thriving membership does not just happen; it requires good planning and year-round attention. We need your help. Encourage others to JOIN MoASSP!
