"I wanted to let you know that I was accepted into the Principal Fellows program at NC Central University! Thank you so much for the motivation that WE lEAD provided me to pursue that program."
Jennifer Pride, 8th grade ELA teacher, Wake County Schools, NC
"This cohort experience has given me confidence to pursue something beyond the classroom. Despite knowing that I was ready for a change for a few years now, I have hesitated. After this training, I have learned that even the most prepared, best educated candidates feel insecure too, and that the only way I will learn what I am truly capable of is by putting myself out there."
Sarah Byrd, English Teacher, St. Stephens High School, Catawba County Schools, NC
"I was able to build confidence to know I am capable of taking the next steps to move into leadership."

"It has lit a fire about what is possible. Even if our end goals are different, the possibilities seem more real and attainable after seeing real women walking in similar shoes as each of us in the group. "
Michelle Williams, Teacher, Spring Hill Middle School, Scotland County Schools, NC
