"Having a mentor gave me an instant connection to an experienced leader that I could contact without any reservation. My mentor understood the challenges I was working through at my school, and was willing to collaborate with me anytime I needed her support. The thing I appreciated the most was the advocacy I received. Having a built-in support network has been invaluable."

"Working with my mentor has been a valuable and enriching experience. I am thankful for the many conversations whether it be in person at our Mentor/Mentee meetings or through a text message. His advice and guidance has helped me continue to cultivate a growth mindset as I navigate some of the challenges of a first year principal."
