Meet our Fellows

Principals and system leaders are more than the engine of education in Philadelphia—they are the heart of it. Our program participants work tirelessly to do what is right for the children whom they serve, and their dedication is felt across communities throughout our city.

Neubauer Fellows served more than 92,000 Philadelphia students in the 2022-2023 school year. View more stats on our Fellows here, or browse the full Fellow Listing below to learn more about these leaders and their work. To view our Fellows by cohort, please visit:
