Featured SpeakersDr. Steven M. Constantino was named acting superintendent of public instruction by Governor Terry McAuliffe effective January 1, 2018.

His career started as an educator in 1980 in upstate New York, where he served in several school districts as a music teacher, band director, district director of fine arts and as a high school assistant principal. He served as an assistant principal and princi-pal in Prince William County. He served as deputy superintendent in Cobb County—Georgia’s second largest school district—from 2008–2011. From 2011 to 2016, he served as the division superintendent for the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools.

Dr. Constantino’s honors include being named Region 2 Superintendent of the Year in 2015 by the Virginia Association of School Superintendents and Prince William County Principal of the Year for 2000.

Kyle Willkom has always strived to live an action-packed life. Along with start-ing his leadership development company, Action Packed Leadership, Kyle wrote two books on leadership, WakeUpCall and TheThinkingDilemma, created the Action Packed Life online leadership course (reaching high school students across the coun-try), and was the first employee of a million-dollar marketing startup. Kyle has also completed six marathons, climbed mountains, and was an all-state basketball player who walked on at Marquette University.

Now Kyle travels the country, guitar in hand, delivering inspirational speeches that are funny, interactive, and life-changing. His speeches motivate and challenge students to have a vision, accomplish big things, and become a better version of themselves.

Department of Student Leadership of theVirginia Association of Secondary School Principals

The Department of Student Leadership of the Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals promotes lead-ership learning in student organizations for all K–12 schools throughout the Commonwealth. We are committed to the advancement of leadership training for students and advisors in Virginia.

The VSCA Advisory Committee of the Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals provides direction and counsel for the administrative operation of the VSCA. The advisory committee consists of seventeen (17) voting members: three (3) high school officer schools (President, Vice-President, and Secretary), eight (8) high school regional representative schools, three (3) middle level representative schools, and three (3) elementary level representatives schools, all elected annually at the VSCA State Convention by member schools of the VSCA. Representative positions of the VSCA Advisory Committee are held by schools rather than individuals. All representative schools, once elected, are represented on the VSCA Advisory Committee by a student representa-tive and his or her school’s SCA Advisor or principal designee. In addition, the VSCA Advisory Committee includes ex-officio nonvoting members, including one VASSP representative who is appointed by the VASSP Board of Directors, the VASSP Executive Director, and the director of the VASSP Department of Student Leadership. The VASSP Executive Director may appoint other ex-officio nonvoting members as necessary.
