Tennessee Principals Association

Tennessee Principals Association The mission of TPA is to support, empower, & connect Tennessee Principals. All our members are principals, have been principals or desire to be principals.

The only Associations with their focus on principals are those such as the Tennessee Principals Association. TPA's entire program of work, structure of organization and benefits delivery systems were planned around the professional and personal development of its members. Our best known products are the the Journal (Tennessee Principal) edited by Catherine Prentis of Nashville, our Annual Conferen

ce (this year in Pigeon Forge at the Music Road Hotel and Inn), our Legislative Lobbyist and legal mind in Stephen Smith, our Electronic Modules which award TASL credits through a partnership with Niswonger Foundation and all of the benefits associated with the TPA/NAESP affiliate relationship (million dollar liability coverage, legal assistant package, publications and so forth). Nationally TPA is a part of a 25,000 member network of principals. Within the state hundreds of principals operate as colleagues and available human resources to each other. It would be great to have you join with us both to enjoy the benefits mentioned above and to contribute from your areas of strength. Download the membership form and fax it to 423.245.5687 today!

We’re excited to share important news with our NAESP community. The Board of Directors has selected Stephanie A. Morris as NAESP’s next executive director, beginning Aug. 1, 2026. Morris brings a deep commitment to child development, a strong belief in the essential role of principals, and a career dedicated to supporting educators who help children learn and thrive.

As the current CEO of SHAPE America and a former senior leader at NAEYC, Morris has spent her career championing the needs of Pre‑K–8 students and the professionals who serve them. Her leadership aligns closely with NAESP’s mission to equip principals with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to build strong school communities.

We look forward to advancing the work of leading learning together.
