For the past two years, high performing assistant principals and principals have been selected to fill mentoring and coaching roles.

The training for Master Mentors was conducted by an organization called Metagourn. The list of district Certified Assistant Principal Master Mentors is as follows: Russell Wallace, Michael Bobo, Vickie Kummelman, Mary Mathis, Greg Basham, and Trisha Fitzgerald. The training for Principal Coaches was conducted by New Teacher Center.
