About AWSP
The Association of Washington School Principals
(AWSP) is the state’s preeminent professional association for
public and private building principals, assistant principals and
principal interns. Formed in 1972, the mission of the
Association is to support principals and the principalship in the
education of all students. AWSP now includes more than 3,500
members from elementary, middle and high schools statewide. Membership
also includes central office administrators, state policymakers and
other K-12 representatives. It is headquartered in Olympia,
Washington.
Membership in AWSP ensures access to professional development
seminars, award-winning leadership publications, networking events and
volunteer opportunities that will increase your development as a school
leader. Our affiliation with the National Association of Secondary
School Principals (NASSP) and the National Association of Elementary
School Principals (NAESP) also provides members with news and
information about national trends, policy issues and events.
In addition to supporting the leadership development of adults, AWSP
provides nationally-recognized leadership programs for K-12 students. It
is also the only principals’ association in the country that owns
and operates two full-time outdoor education centers: Cispus in Randle
and Chewelah Peak in Chewelah. Student programs and facilities are
operated through the Association’s 501(c)(3) non-profit
foundation, the Washington School Principals’ Education Foundation
(WSPEF).
