Thompson Leadership Academy

Inspiring Leaders. Strengthening Schools.

Elementary students at Sarah Milner work on arts and crafts activities at their classroom tables with supplies

The Thompson Leadership Academy is a unique seven-month program designed to connect community members with the important work and service of the district. Through monthly sessions, participants will gain an inside look at the district’s educational programs, daily operations, funding models and more.

This engaging experience will provide a comprehensive understanding of how our schools work to serve students, families and the community. By building knowledge, fostering relationships, and encouraging dialogue, the Academy will inspire participants to become more deeply involved in supporting the mission of TSD.

Graduates will leave the program better equipped to serve as informed ambassadors, advocates, and leaders within our district.
