Anne Reap, principal of Trenton Catholic Academy Lower School in Hamilton, is among 59 outstanding elementary and middle school principals from across the nation and abroad who have been named as 2015 National Distinguished Principals (NDP) by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP). 

The NDPs will be honored Oct. 16 at an awards banquet at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., as part of a two-day program. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will deliver opening remarks.

Established in 1984, the two-day NDP celebration program recognizes public and private school principals who make superior contributions to their schools and communities. The 59 principal honorees are selected by NAESP state affiliates and by committees representing private and overseas schools.

NAESP Executive Director Gail Connelly congratulated the class of outstanding principals, noting their significant role in successfully leading students, schools, and communities through seismic shifts in education. “Only a school principal can lead a school to success and positively impact an entire learning community,” she said. “That is why I am so pleased to congratulate this year’s class of National Distinguished Principals—they richly deserve this honor and many more.”

Reap was also honored with the 2015 National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) Dr. Robert J. Kealey Distinguished Principal Award earlier this year.

The NDPs are awarded in October as the nation recognizes National Principals Month, which was established to recognize and honor the contributions of school principals and assistant principals toward the success of the nation’s students, and encourage awareness of their significance.
