Meet the education leaders behind the 2026 Promise Network Cohort!

Across the South, education leaders are working every day to strengthen schools, strengthen education systems, and expand opportunity for students and families. The Promise Network, a Southern Education Foundation leadership development fellowship, brings together executive leaders who are committed to doing just that: strengthening their leadership, learning alongside peers, and tackling system-level challenges to expand educational opportunity. This year’s cohort connects leaders from communities across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. We’re excited to spotlight this year’s fellows and share more about the experiences, perspectives, and communities they bring to the Network.
