2020 National Distinguished Principal Award
Principal Alicia Lett of Raleigh County
Named National Distinguished Principal of the Year
The West Virginia Association for Elementary Middle School Principals (WVAEMSP) is proud to announce Ms. Alicia Lett of Cranberry-Prosperity Elementary School in Raleigh County, West Virginia as the 2020 West Virginia Principal of the Year and recognized as a National Distinguished Principal by the National Association of Elementary Principals (NAESP) in accordance with October as National Principals Month
Ms. Lett was notified of the honor at a surprise assembly at her school with all staff, Raleigh County Schools Superintendent David Price and WV Board of Education President Miller Hall in attendance, along with Raleigh County Central Office staff, Board members and others, all socially distancing, but celebrating her achievement.
“It’s just really hard to believe honestly. I work with so many awesome people here. I have the best staff. In Raleigh County, our principals are the cream of the crop and so to be a part of it feels like this isn’t just an individual award, it’s really truly a school and county award.” Lett said to local media. “Like I said, this isn’t a National Distinguished Principal award, it’s a school award,” Lett said. “This staff goes above and beyond every day. I have crazy ideas and they are crazy enough to go along with me.”
