In this episode, we dive into the exciting initiatives at Commack High School with Principal Carrie Lipenholtz. Commack High is pushing the boundaries of traditional education by implementing their innovative "Schools of Study" for their students. These programs aim to fully engage 11th and 12th graders by integrating career pathways such as business, law, and STEM within their curriculum, providing real-world experiences through involvement with industry professionals, internships, and specialized coursework.

Principal Carrie Lipenholtz shares her personal journey from being a Commack student to becoming the principal, and her dedication to transforming education. The discussion highlights the importance of not just building strong relationships in education but also preparing students for future success by helping them discover their passions and strengths through hands-on learning experiences. Exciting projects like their state-of-the-art Bloomberg lab for financial literacy and real-life career exploration opportunities set Commack High apart as a visionary institution.
