The Mississippi Administrator of the Year will be chosen from administrators who exhibit a superior ability to inspire instructors, who possess exemplary leadership capabilities and are active members of the local community. It is a means to honor an individual who is representative of the excellent professionals we have in education in Mississippi. Nominations should be made without regard to race, sex, age, national origin, handicap, or religion. Official entry forms and instructions will be mailed to each district's central office. The local Administrator of the Year entry form, signed by the local superintendent, will be returned to the Department of Education for judging.
Entries are limited to one per school district.
These will be judged based upon a biography, professional development activities, community involvement, philosophy, insight on education issues and trends, and letters of recommendation.
