More than 20 Dallas ISD principals have been awarded Master Principal designation for the 2023-2024 school year. These designations are awarded annually to the top 10% of Dallas ISD principals in three categories: elementary schools, secondary schools, and choice schools.
This year’s Master Principals represent a wealth of experience and diversity across the district. The official criteria is based on: at least three years of service as a Dallas ISD principal, individual performance, and campus performance in the prior school year. In addition to a $10,000 stipend, Master Principals will be recognized at the annual Master Principal Recognition event on Feb.1, 2024, at the Joule Hotel.
In 2023-2024, the Master Principal selection criteria was adjusted to place additional emphasis on student growth and account for differences in school demographics. The designations were revealed on Dec. 13 at the annual December Principals’ Meeting.
