This session highlights the journeys of two schools that achieved significant growth during the 2025–2026 school year. Through an honest reflection on challenges, successes, and lessons learned, participants will explore how a focus on priorities, intentional leadership moves, and consistent follow-through helped drive positive outcomes for students and staff. Using the FIRST Framework, presenters will share practical strategies, key decisions, and leadership practices that transformed vision into results. Attendees will leave with actionable insights they can apply in their schools as they work to build and sustain their winning seasons.
