Delaware principal to serve as NASSP President

DOVER—The National Association of Secondary School Principals board of directors has elected Dr. Evelyn Edney, principal of Early College School at Delaware State University, as their new president.

“I have been a teacher, a student activities coordinator, an assistant principal, a principal and charter leader, and a supervisor of school operations. These experiences have helped to shape me into looking at all kinds of schools and seeing and knowing what each has to offer. I believe that it will help me relate to all kinds of school leaders across our great country and advocate on behalf of them at local, state and national levels," said Dr. Edney.

"Having current school leaders like Evelyn and our newly elected board members at the helm is vital for NASSP's mission," said NASSP CEO Ronn Nozoe. "Their firsthand experience in schools across the nation ensures that our advocacy and initiatives are grounded in the realities of today's educational landscape. Together, we are poised to drive meaningful change and support the success of every student and educator."

Dr. Edney was previously named 2021 Delaware Principal of the Year and has held many different roles in her career including teaching English and serving as principal at multiple schools.
