Dunagan
On Sunday, Nov. 20, the Indiana Association of School Principals (IASP) will recognize Michael Dunagan, Principal at Options Schools in Westfield, as the 2022 High School Principal of the Year from IASP District 5. District 5 is located in central Indiana and is made up of Boone, Hamilton, Howard, Madison, Miami and Tipton counties.
The recognition ceremony is a part of the 2022 Principals of the Year Recognition Celebration, a part of IASP’s annual Fall Professional Conference. The award will be presented at a dinner at the Indianapolis JW Marriott Hotel at 6 p.m. with the IASP State President Matt Shockley presiding along with Executive Director Dr. Todd Bess.
District High School Principals of the Year are elected by their peers. One principal is honored from each of the 12 districts. From these 12 District High School Principal winners, one is chosen as the 2022 State High School Principal of the Year. The State winner will be announced at the award celebration. Dunagan was first informed of the honor in May 2021, during a small after-school celebration with his team at Options Westfield.
