Trammell and Morris hanging out at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony today. Let’s hope Whitaker will soon be on that stage with them at some point … 👍⚾️
I joined @NASSP to urge Congress to protect federal education funding and reject cuts to programs like Title I, IDEA, and Head Start. Our students deserve strong support. Join me: #PrincipalsAdvocate

You can’t control what students will remember in 25 years. You can control how many opportunities you create to be remembered.
Recognize your colleagues.
Acknowledge their impact.
Extend their greatness.
Take care of the adults who take care of kids.

First day on the new job! Proud to be the Principal at Portage Northern High School. It's a Great Day to Be a Leader of the Pack!

Joy doesn’t remove the weight of leadership.
It reminds us why the weight is worth carrying.
The leaders who last aren’t the ones who avoid hard things. They’re the ones who stay connected to the people, purpose, and moments that make the work matter.

I just took action with NASSP and sent messages to my representative and senators asking them to protect schools as safe places of learning for all students. Please join me and send a message to your members of Congress today! #PrincipalsAdvocate nassp.quorum.us/campaign/155…

4th quarter decisions brutal. I’m seriously questioning if Jonathan Smith is the guy. Why go for 2?! Kick the FG. 🤦♂️

Words matter.
Just like toothpaste, once they’re out, you can’t put them back in the tube. The way we speak and treat others leaves a lasting impact. Whether it’s with kindness, empathy, and understanding, or with negativity that diminishes dignity.
If we slip up and the “toothpaste” is out, it takes time and effort to repair the harm. But it can be repaired.
Let’s choose words that build people up, not break them down. Every interaction is a chance to show care, respect, and humanity.

My goodness. Portage Public Schools you were incredible!!!! The band was unbelievable. The new Superintendent walks out 2 educators from when he was a kid to show the impact. The staff in the room was totally locked in…phenomenal. THANK YOU for the trust!! I had a blast!!!

The most important thing to get ready in your room…IS YOU! Kids are going to walk in and see their name and know if they are supposed to be in that room. Then they’ll look at you…and know if THEY BELONG. Just got to take care of each other. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work
