Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University are launching a new fellowship program to grow the number of school principals of color in partnership with New Leaders, a nonprofit focused on training equity-focused K-12 administrators.
The online principal certification and master’s degree program aims to foster greater diversity among school leaders. Half of all students in K-12 public schools identify as people of color, compared to only a fifth of principals. Only 11 percent of principals are Black, and 9 percent are Hispanic.
