Congratulations to @RabunGapEagles legend Calea Jackson!
Tickets punched and history made 🔥🙌 Calea Jackson is headed to the NCAA Outdoor Championships after recording the second-longest throw in school history at 58.26m!

Firm believer in this. If you think your kid is too good for their current club, ask if they can play up before leaving for "Greener pastures".
If your child is good enough to play up an age group or two, I recommend it. Focus on their growth & development, not outside opinions which will come from the each set of players & parents from the age group you left to the others you move to.

Love this. You can see love in that coach's challenge. No coach challenges a player like that if they don't truly believe in that player.
“I need you to lock in… I believe in you but you got to want this moment.“ Coach: Eye contact, reaffirming confidence while giving criticism Player: Eye contact, listening, responding This is some good coaching and credit to the player being coachable!

So amazing to attend my first NHS LEAD Conference. 12 of the 2,500 students there were from our school here in Costa Rica. While being in DC during this weekend's craziness, I was comforted by seeing first-hand that the kids are alright. (Thanks @NASSP! #nhslead #lead2026

When students get caught in political crossfire, no one wins

Russia has banned the International Baccalaureate from operating in the country and branded it ‘undesirable’ – a move that will cause huge disruption for staff and students at 29 schools tes.com/magazine/news/specia…

Tommy Fleetwood on what advice he’d give to his kids following his win: “If I could give my kids one piece of advice…I always tell them to be a good person first.” 🙌 @FleetwoodArmy

Have a teacher at my school who calls me coach even though I'm his principal. I feel more respected by him calling me that once than 100 "Mr."s
“Coach” is one of the highest titles you can earn in the South. Arguably better than “Governor”

You don’t have to be an administrator, grade level chair, or department head to be a leader in your school.  Your title doesn’t matter.  You just have to care about making it better. Passion and commitment can transform any culture.

Learned this early in my teaching career. Have a tough student giving you fits? Find out what they do outside of school and go support them. Bonus: walk up to their parents & tell them how cool it is their kid is participating in said event/sport/thing.
I don’t think people understand how important showing up is.

The MYTH of the so-called “elite” young athlete claims that children must join these “elite teams” early to succeed, ignoring the value of play &development. Many kids aren’t ready for “elite environments” at a young age,but they can/will thrive later by focusing on fun&learning!

This right here...
🗣️”Stop making children stand as substitutes for a whole game, or every week because your ego can't take losing a football match….! No one is going to remember the score of an U11 game in a couple years time. BUT the kids will remember: HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL!”

There is nothing that any principal or school leader can do that is worth as much as a teacher who cares about their students and is passionate about seeing them succeed.
