The Princessipal
I decided to create this website to serve as a landing page for all of my interests and ventures. Across the top, you'll see a variety of linked pages. Each one has specific content, and is a work in progress. If any of the links do not work, please send me a message at janacarterfreeman@theprincessipal.com
Thank you so very much!
You may wonder about the significance of the name of this website. Trust me, there is a story behind it, for sure!
When I was a first-year principal, the Superintendent's granddaughter was starting kindergarten on my campus. One day, prior to school starting, I was working in my office, and I had some visitors. My Superintendent had brought his granddaughter to meet me.
As I was introduced to Makenna, her grandfather told me this story.
"As Makenna and I were walking onto campus, I had told her just how much she was going to like you. I told her that Principal Freeman was a personal friend, that SHE was a nice lady, and that SHE would take care of Makenna."
"Makenna stopped walking and said, 'Grandpa. why do you keep saying SHE?' I realized that I was about to have a gender-equity discussion with the 5-year-old. I told her that women can be principals, doctors, anything they wanted to be!"
"Makenna thought about it and said, 'but Grandpa, you keep calling her principal. Shouldn't she be a PRINCESS-IPAL?' ???"
So, there you have it! They story behind the name. I quickly became known as Princessipal Freeman, and the moniker has stuck with me!
