A hawk as a leader represents a high-level strategic thinker who uses sharp vision, patience, and decisive action to guide a team. Thank you for the reminder my friend! #Leadership#Principal#Hawk#Edu
The beginning of a school year can feel like a storm for a principal.
New staff. New expectations. Student challenges. Unexpected problems.
But one thing I’ve learned in school leadership is that storms don’t last forever. The storm is part of the journey, not the destination.
I honestly cannot believe it’s already been a week since #JRGC26 and the Gala Awards. It was such an honor to be recognized along with these amazing people. However, what touches me the most is that Abby nominated me. I hope that I can be the mother that she looks up to, sees that I always give my ALL and fight for what I believe in. We all have obstacles and moments we think we can’t overcome but hopefully she can see that with grit and perseverance you can power through. Lead with love and gratitude and continue to have a servant leadership heart. Not only am I grateful for my family, but I am also grateful for my Ren Fam and love that my tribe continues to grow. I would not be where I am without them. Find your tribe.
Be Kind. Be You. Be the Change.
What an honor to be recognized as a jostens Renaissance Diamond School of Distinction along with 4 other amazing schools. There are almost 10,000 active Ren schools!! This is a true testament to our students, Staffulty and community.
#JRGC26
In two weeks I will be doing what I love… connecting with like minded educators and adding to my Ren Fam. Three different sessions and especially excited about a new session with Julie Ellis Liford, Stronger Together, showcasing what an inclusive environment and culture we have at Powell. Can’t wait to bring back Igniting Students’ Passions and Using the Renaissance Curriculum in your Leadership Class. It’s going to be an amazing conference. It’s not too late to sign up and use code MOONEY25.
This job is rewarding—but also heavy. Sitting with a child who’s scared, waiting to be picked up, hearing real-life struggles… it humbles you.
As leaders, let’s stay compassionate, present, and committed. Our students need more than instruction—they need us. 💛
