Yesterday at @thenaesp.bsky.social's #NAESP26, Glen Lake MS and Grosse Ile Elementary were honored as 2026 National Gold Star Schools®. Congrats to Principals Dina Rocheleau and Nicole Garza—your leadership makes Michigan proud. #LeadWithUs

Michigan school leaders are making the most of the @thenaesp.bsky.social National School Leaders Conference—connecting, learning, and bringing fresh ideas back to our schools and communities. We’re proud to see MEMSPA leaders representing Michigan! #NAESP26 #LeadWithUs

We had a wonderful opening at #NAESP26 with Merlyna Valentine on persevering as leaders, as we ask our students, sharing her story of change and challenge which is really a story of hope and inspiration. Thank you for blessing us w/the gift of you, and challenging us to be courageous & resilient.

When students reach big goals, great principals celebrate in big ways! Moments like this remind us that great principals inspire learning, joy, and community, every single day!

That’s the @NAESP difference.
