For Principal For A Day Participants
For nearly 30 years Principal For A Day has been one of New York City’s most enduring and prestigious way for business and civic leaders to get involved in public education. As Principal For A Day you will learn what it takes to lead a New York City public school directly from principals and administrators as well as visit with students to offer insight into your career trajectory and opportunities that exist within your industry. This day is often the start of a company’s long term partnership with PENCIL. Join the more than 11,000 past participants including leading executives from companies Google, JetBlue, ViacomCBS, Amazon, and JPMorgan Chase as well as celebrities such as Jay-Z, Frances McDormand, and Jerry Seinfeld to learn about the potential that exists across the five boroughs.

For Schools
Since 1995 more than 1,000 New York City public schools have opened their doors to visiting Principals For A Day. This year we are excited to invite educators and executives to connect in-person, to share insights and knowledge. Participants are often interested in learning about the ins and outs of daily school leadership or interacting directly with students and teachers. As a school leader, you can participate in a variety of PENCIL’s programs that can highlight your school’s strengths and give your students an opportunity to learn about a new industry or career path. Many of PENCIL’s ongoing school/business partnerships began with a Principal For A Day® experience and we hope our upcoming events can launch many more long standing relationships!
