“The Florida Department of Education could not have chosen a better leader for this honor. Principal Halter is everything a superintendent could ask for in a building leader. She is a mentor to beginning and novice principals, a strong collaborator on many of our district committees, and is an instructional coach to her faculty and staff: always encouraging them to be the best educators possible for their students,” said Superintendent David Broskie.
