We often ask staff to remember the challenges many students face outside of school. But we should also remember that our colleagues are often facing serious obstacles and hardships too. School needs to be a supportive and understanding environment for all.
Dear High School Students, Learn:
Public speaking
Writing well
To teach (see 1-2 above)
Critical thinking (not cynicism)
Good manners
Active listening (hear with your eyes)

People should always be more important than programs. Programs should merely be means to help people grow, including those leading and working for the program. When programs become more important than people, people get hurt, burned out, used, and discarded. Keep people first.
The best leaders, in most circles I've been in, want to serve. They aren't just fighting to keep a title or position; they are fighting to help others be their best, for the sake of something that is bigger than any one individual.
Teams that have massive success:
• Care about the details
• Push each other to be better
• Don’t have drama
• Have mutual goals
• Are consistent in their work ethic
• Enjoy each other’s company
• Don’t have jealousy or hate
• Buy-in to roles
• Hold each other accountable
