Welcome to the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP). We are a professional educational association of over 1,300 active and retired secondary and middle school administrators who seek to grow professionally and to effect positive change in our world today.
MASSP is an affiliate of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), based in Reston, Virginia.
Minnesota Association of Secretaries to the Principals (MASP) is an affiliate of our organization. They are a professional educational association intended to provide in-service training, networking opportunities, professional development programs, and peer support.
Minnesota Association of Student Councils (MASC), and the Minnesota Association of Honor Societies (MAHS), are two student organizations affiliated with MASSP. They exist to provide member high school and middle school students, and their advisors, the opportunity to participate in leadership activities and other events to better themselves and their student organizations.

MASSP Celebrates National Assistant Principal Week
On behalf of MASSP, we would like to recognize our 576 assistant principals and administrative deans for their dedication and commitment to their school communities. As an assistant principal, they bring a strong skill-set to their building. From being a good listener to giving critical feedback, building connections with students to navigating staff issues, assistant principals are a pivotal member of their school administrative team.
Thank you, assistant principals, for always putting the needs of your students first. You do not go unnoticed! Your daily interactions through your leadership, effective communication, problem-solving and good judgment help create a positive school culture.
If you have not already done so, please thank an assistant principal today!
Let’s Celebrate!
VISION: Our desired future outcome for MASSP
- Foster an inclusive environment where ALL members’ voices are encouraged to engage individually and collectively.
- Provide ongoing professional development to grow courageous and collaborative leaders.
