Celebrating 100 Years of MEMSPA

For 100 years, MEMSPA has been the voice and community for Michigan’s elementary and middle level principals—empowering leaders, strengthening schools, and shaping the future for generations of students. As we mark a century of connection and growth, we’re reflecting on what this incredible milestone means to our members, both past and present.

In honor of MEMSPA’s 100th anniversary, we invited principals and leaders across the state to share their memories, stories, and hopes for the next century of leadership. Their words capture the heart of what MEMSPA has stood for and continues to stand for: collaboration, advocacy, and impact.

Join us in celebrating a hundred years of leading and learning together—watch the video below to hear our members’ reflections and tributes in their own voices.
