I never imagined I’d enroll my child in virtual high school. But when it means giving him a chance to chase his dreams, it’s worth every bit. So grateful for an amazing club and a school counselor who made it possible. Get em, Ed!

As much as I love the weekends, I spent the morning walking the building to make sure there were no major maintenance glitches prior to kids coming tomorrow. I’m glad I did because some of the air units weren’t working and a ceiling tile fell. But now it’s not a worry for staff.

Our kindergarten students made it official today—signing their Green Trails contracts and pledging to belong, care, show self-control, and embrace wonder. We’re thrilled to welcome 55 brand-new Gators to the family!

We talked about what it means to own our impact, and the energy in the room said it all: positive, respectful, and forward-focused. 🌱 A great day in a great environment.

The building is ready, my heart is full, and Monday can’t come soon enough! Year 27 is all about growing together by taking something wonderful and making it even better. Welcoming back the staff is my favorite day of the year. Let’s go!

Our school was featured in a global case study for transforming student & adult culture. Educators in Taiwan are reading about how we built a place where everyone feels they belong—without compromising who they are. What an honor it is to be a leader in a place like GT.

Walked into Starbucks on my my way to new educator orientation, feeling all cute and ready to lead… until someone asked if I work for an airline. Guess this outfit says “welcome aboard” more than “welcome back, staff!”
