In a new video, we explore the origin of this common phrase, which dates to the 1840 presidential campaigns of William Henry Harrison and Martin Van Buren.

The greatest leaders in education don’t have all the answers.
They have the strongest networks.
The change we seek in education resides in the collective, not the c-suite.
Historians of the week!!
This week was CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP week! These kids are some of the hardest working, positive, growth focused kids I’ve ever met. I’m blessed to grow with them ❤️ @OneTigerNation @DSISD
