“Professional engagement is the hallmark of an instructional leader,” said Harley Eckhart, executive director of TEPSA. “We look forward to Kathryn’s contributions to the association during the upcoming year.”
TEPSA, whose trademark is educational leaders learning with and from each other, has served Texas school leaders since 1917. Member owned and member governed, TEPSA has more than 5,900 members who direct the activities of 3 million PreK-8 school children.
