INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Incline Middle School’s seasoned principal shared the top job on Thursday with a NV Energy executive as part of “Principal for a Day” program sponsored by the Education Alliance of Washoe County.

“I got to experience the life of a principal in a small school,” said Craig Rosen, NV Energy Senior Project Manager Education and Outreach. “I got to really see his interaction with teachers, faculty and students. He high fives every student, and he know them by name. You can tell he truly cares about his students.”

Rosen spent the morning with Principal Dan Lediard to experience what it is like to be a principal or administrator in the Washoe County School District, and learn about the more than 60,000 students these schools serve.
