The political issues surrounding us are alarming, frustrating, and challenging.
I would change them if I could. But we can't control the event, only our response.
So I choose to be the best leader for the District I can possibly be with these actions:
Learning more every day about leadership, teaching, and learning; advocating with lawmakers and DESE; presenting data, information, and perspective about the impact of laws and rules on our District; thanking those who listen and understand; forgiving and working to establish trust and perspective with those who do not; collaborating with other leaders to solve problems we all face; building leadership capacity for every educator in our District;.
I am proud of the responses I see each day from our educators. In this week alone I have observed these actions: Teachers inviting other teachers into classrooms to observe effective instruction; Teachers empowering parents to support their students in literacy; Support staff scheduling students for intervention work; School Board recognizing seniors and their parents who earning industry career-ready credentials; Seniors participating in job searches and career drafting; Principals leading conversations of reflection and feedback; Teachers and principals learning and applying knowledge about cognitive levels of DOK and developing quality assessments; District and building leaders learning and planning for comprehensive vocabulary instruction across the district; District leaders learning and planning how to support and build capacity for building leadership teams.
Public Schools are not failing. This public school is not failing.
We are winning - day to day - educator by educator - student by student.
Don't let them tell you otherwise.
It is a lie and meant to discourage and distract us from our mission.
We LEAD from our space and change the outcomes.

Twenty-five MHS seniors attended Draft Day sponsored by Be Pro, Be Proud. The event was held at the Peak Innovation Center in Fort Smith.
The students went with their resumes in hand and ready to interview with various industry leaders from the area. Several seniors were asked to contact the representative about potential employment after they graduate in May. For many, this was their first time to have a formal interview.
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to take our students to this event. We plan to make this a yearly event and to involve more students. Today, each senior walked away with something positive to share about the experience.

March is National Nutrition Month - an annual campaign created in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to bring awareness to making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits. Our diet is the #1 factor that impacts our health. By giving our bodies good fuel, we can ensure it will give us good back.

Math and science teachers train with our PLC assessment coach Dr Becky Stobaugh on Depth of Knowledge (DOK). This is an imported part of each teacher's work as we align standards, content, and cognitive levels when planning curriculum and instruction. Dragon💙Strong
