| WASSP names us a "Platinum Partnership" 
The Wyoming Association of Secondary School Principals has presented Union Pacific with its Platinum Partnership Award for the company’s support of Wyoming high school principals through the activities of the Principals’ Partnership. In the past two years, the Partnership has served 25 Wyoming high school principals and has assisted WASSP in providing high quality professional development to the state’s principals.
Presenting the award, EmmaJo Spiegelberg, WASSP’s executive director, said, “This is our highest award for educational partnerships. We wish to recognize Union Pacific for their generosity and their deep commitment to Wyoming’s educational leaders.” Ursula Harrison, Wyoming’s Principal of the Year, added, “The Partnership is the finest professional development program I have ever experienced.”
The award was presented at an educational roundtable for principals and state education officials sponsored by the Partnership. This event was attended by Trent Blankenship, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, as well as 15 Wyoming legislators, including the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. Accepting the award for Union Pacific, Dick Hartman, UP’s Special Representative for Wyoming, said, “We are very pleased and grateful for this recognition. We are proud of our work with Wyoming principals and very impressed by the quality of leadership we have found in our schools.” . Past News Items:
