Recognizing and Celebrating City Schools’ Principals
The Fund manages the Heart of the Schools, a year-round initiative honoring Baltimore City Public School principals for their hard work, dedication, and positive impact on Baltimore’s students and communities. Created in 2016 in collaboration with local businesses, foundations, individuals, and nonprofits, the Heart of the Schools shows principals that they are appreciated, supported, and celebrated by all of Baltimore.
