In recognizing leadership in
co-curricular activities -- the term for extracurricular activities
as coined in "Breaking Ranks: Changing an American Institution" --
as well as academic performance, the PLA scholarship helps assert
the importance of a well-rounded education. "Breaking Ranks," the
high school reform report issued by National Association of
Secondary School Principals in partnership with The Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, says co-curricular
activities should be an essential part of the school curriculum.
National Association of Secondary
School Principals is the nation's largest school leadership
organization, with a membership reaching toward 40,000 middle level
and high school principals and assistant principals. The
organization administers the National Honor Society, the National
Junior Honor Society, the National Association of Student Councils
and the National Association of Student Activity Advisers,
collectively serving an additional 40,000 advisers and more than 1
million students.
National
Association of Secondary School Principals is also the sponsor of
National Student Leadership Week.
