COBB CHAMBER OFFERS CHANCE TO BE PRINCIPAL FOR THE DAY The Cobb Chamber annually looks for business and civic leaders to participate in the Principal for a Day program. This year, Principal for a Day is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15 for both Cobb County and Marietta City Schools. The Cobb Chamber and Cobb’s public school systems invite you to participate in a unique, behind-the-scenes experience as a Principal for a Day to better understand one of Cobb County’s strongest assets. The Chamber places volunteers in Cobb and Marietta City schools to experience a half day in the shoes of a principal. The day includes one-on-one time with the principal, meetings with the faculty, as well as time in the classroom with students. As a Principal for a Day, you will have the chance to meet one-on-one with one of Cobb County’s outstanding principals to gain firsthand knowledge of the challenges and strengths local schools face on a daily basis. The program requires the commitment of a half workday, but will provide a greater understanding of the educational process and opportunities in Cobb County. Participants will shadow a local principal, meet with the faculty, as well as spend time in the classroom with students.
