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.

Thoughts from Bob Driver

Whether you are in your first year as a school administrator or a seasoned veteran with 30 years of experience, MASSP warmly welcomes you forward as we step into the next 100 years of service, support, and leadership. Our association has evolved into a strong, dynamic organization—one that is grounded in connections and energized by innovation. For those who have never participated in MASSP programming, and for those who have come and gone over the years, now is the perfect time to re-engage. Your voice matters, and with new branding, a renewed sense of purpose, and stronger principal representation than ever before, MASSP is better with your voice.

Reflecting on a century of impact, it’s clear how far MASSP has come. What began as a small group of school leaders advocating for their profession has transformed into a vibrant, forward-thinking community committed to one mission: principals elevating principals. We offer timely professional development, guidance to navigate daily challenges, recognition that celebrates your leadership, and powerful advocacy on behalf of school administrators. And with more principal networks than ever before, MASSP is more connected, more inclusive, and more responsive to your needs.

As we look ahead, we invite you to be a part of what’s next. Attend a regional gathering, participate in a workshop, or join us at one of our statewide conferences. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, practical support, or professional connection, MASSP has something for you. Don’t miss your opportunity to grow, lead, and contribute to the next century of excellence in school leadership—because together, we are stronger.
