Little Cypress Elementary Principal Amber Hawk and Little Cypress Mauriceville High School Principal Ryan DuBose were selected last spring to be part of the Thompson Executive Leadership Institute Principal Academy XXV, a nationally recognized advanced principal leadership program.  

The LCM principals met monthly this school year in Austin at the Region 13 Education Service Center with approximately 30 other principals from around the state of Texas. Monthly sessions included professional development topics with Dr. Bob Thompson, Dr. Greg Smith, and Dr. Elvis Arterbury, hearing from guest speakers such as current and former Texas superintendents, planning legislative advocacy, and collaborating on public education hot topics from across the state.  

As part of the academy, LCM recently hosted a site visit where principals from Boerne, Cy-Fair, and Goose Creek toured the schools. Rea Wrinkle, Orangefield High School Principal, was also selected locally and is in the group picture.
