About TPA
The Tennessee Principals Association was founded in 1939 as a support system for Tennessee school leaders. Over the decades, TPA has evolved as the premier professional association for K-8 Tennessee principals and district leaders. Our mission as the Tennessee Principals Association is to support, empower and connect Tennessee principals. Although we do not endorse political parties or candidates, we do use our voices to advocate for the needs of schools in Tennessee.

Advocacy Director
Heather Wolf, Director of Advocacy

The TPA Board of Directors is focusing on advocacy efforts both at the state and national levels to best represent our membership and school needs. If you have any questions pertaining to these efforts or you would like to spotlight a special event with one of your local legislators, please send your correspondence to advocacy@tnprin.org.
No one knows your school community as well as you – the principal. Lawmakers need your knowledge on ideas and laws that help or harm your students, teachers and schools. Keep your legislator informed about the importance of education in Tennessee, and ensure TPA has a voice at the State Capitol.
