In this episode of The Wendt Way: Principal Talks, we sit down with Jake Mohling, Middle School Principal at Woodward-Granger, to explore the real work, the real challenges, and the real heart behind leading in the middle school world.

Jake shares what makes the middle level so special, how he supports students through the most unpredictable years of their lives, and what systems he’s built to strengthen culture, communication, and consistency. We dig into student engagement, family partnerships, PBIS, leadership mindsets, and how to stay grounded in a role that changes by the minute.

And of course… we end with a fun question that only a middle school principal could answer with confidence.

If you’re an educator, leader, parent, or anyone who’s ever survived middle school — this episode is for you.
