In this episode of Brighter Together, I sit down with Wade Callaway, superintendent of Gruver ISD in Texas, to explore how a focus on school culture can transform educational outcomes. Wade shares his journey from basketball coach to superintendent and the innovative strategies he has implemented to support both educators and students. We discuss the challenges of financial constraints and the creative solutions Gruver ISD has employed, like their unique farm scholarship program. Wade emphasizes the importance of building a supportive community, encouraging students to serve others, and fostering a respectful environment. Join us as we uncover a blueprint for addressing the root causes of educational challenges, rather than just the symptoms, and learn how Gruver ISD is setting a new standard for school success.
