Great teams hold each other accountable, not to rules, but to a standard of excellence.

School culture is not created by a mission statement (most don't even know their statement says), catch phrases or educational buzz words, but it is created by the ACTIONS of everyone associated with the school.

Morale should always be a priority of every leader. When people feel valued, supported, appreciated, and that their strengths are being utilized, it improves engagement, job satisfaction, and overall sense of well being.

I’m so proud that our Turnaround Proposal for the Shelbyco schools was approved by the Board unanimously. And to see my longtime colleague Dr. Margaret McKissack Lary honored for 62 years of service to our profession was the icing on the cake. #careerladdercolleague. #Pioneer
