What an honor it is to be on campus at @MTSU this morning speaking to the Residency 2 students before they graduate this weekend! Feels like it was just 2011 and I was in their seat! Wishing them all the best as they step into the BEST. JOB. EVER! 💙
Relationships are rarely built in the big moments. They're built in the small ones. In 30 seconds at the door greeting a student with a smile, high five, or a simple "Glad you are here!" In a compliment after a hard conversation. In a quiet correction. In choosing to listen instead of lecture.

You really never know what God has in store for your life! We have enjoyed this year off and we’re excited to get back to it! I love watching Jeremy coach basketball and I can’t wait to watch him lead this team! #IndyNation@wcsIHSbball@wcsIHSathletics

Got to catch a few of the many things happening at SHS last night! It sure did fill my cup watching our kids do the things they love! It also filled my cup watching our teachers lead them in doing those things they love. What a gift! #OnlyOneSHS@SmyrnaBulldog
Making my rounds at SHS activities tonight and happened to see one of my favorite people in the whole entire universe! I became a teacher so I could be for my students who JP was for me! I wouldn’t have survived middle school without her. What a gift she still is in my life 🤍
Financial Friends Day (Twin Day) for the last day of Financial Literacy Week! Shout out to @DrLuckeydoo for all the ways he prepares our students for life! #OnlyOneSHS@SmyrnaBulldog
I learned all about Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis when visiting Biology classes this week! Lots of student learning happening from these great labs! #OnlyOneSHS#SmyrnaSpotlight@SmyrnaBulldog
Today the English I team brought their classes in to remediate most missed questions on the Benchmark. It was a huge success and I can’t wait to see this space used this way again in the future! Amazing job, English I! #SmyrnaSpotlight#OnlyOneSHS@SmyrnaBulldog

Words I heard recently that stuck with me:
“Culture is the vibe we set and the standard we practice.”
Not the posters on the wall.
Not just what we say.
It’s the actions we repeat every single day.
High School Instructional Coaches and their SHENANIGANS before St. Patrick's Day @rucoschools coaches meeting. These are some of the BEST colleagues a guy could work with in HS instruction. What a blessing they are to their schools and our group!
I visited Ms. Marripudi’s Algebra I class on a test review day and saw students in groups, up, working problems on white boards! They were eagerly engaged in their work and it was such a productive environment! #SmyrnaSpotlight#OnlyOneSHS@SmyrnaBulldog
This week when visiting Biology classes I saw such awesome labs! It is so cool seeing student engage with real-life concepts that connect science to the real world. I learn something every time I visit! Great work, team! #SmyrnaSpotlight#OnlyOneSHS@SmyrnaBulldog
