Leadership is easy.

Until…

You have to hold someone accountable.

You’re criticized for doing the right thing.

You face a tough decision with no easy answer.

You take the blame for a mistake you didn’t make.

You lead people who don’t want to be led.

You’re expected to stay calm in chaos.

You sacrifice for the good of the team.

Leadership isn’t about a title. It’s about showing up when it’s hard.

That’s when real leaders stand out.

Choose to lead.

Humbled to witness the Class of 2025 cross the stage today. Your resilience, heart, and grit define what it means to be a Bear. UPIKE will always be home—and you’ll always be part of our family. Lead with purpose. Love fiercely. And never forget where you came from.

GO BEARS

Humbled to receive the 2025 UPIKE Bear Award for Staff Member of the Year. This isn’t about recognition—it’s about students. Always lead with a heart that put students first. Every late night, every tough call, every challenge -always comes back to serving our students.

[Chris Robinson @ChrisUpike91]

Your compassion, resilience, and willingness to help those in need embody the true meaning of the UPIKE family. Together, we rise.

We show up, We do the work, We live the standard

GO BEARS!!
