KIPP One Academy’s Ken Lee was named the 2019 Charter School Principal of the Year by the Illinois Network of Charter Schools. A number of other excellent principals from across the state were in the running for this award, but Ken stood out because of his ability to set a strong instructional vision and turn that vision into a reality.
Ken’s influence extends beyond the school he leads and to KIPP Chicago’s other campuses. He’s been instrumental in the design, implementation, and refinement of our internal assessment strategy, which has been one of our most important levers for providing opportunities for collaboration across KIPP Chicago – Amy Pouba, Superintendent
