In this week’s episode of Holding the Line, we explore what it truly means to pick up the spot of the person next to you when they can’t hold their part of the line. From a devastating personal loss experienced by our principal to students testing boundaries, we reflect on how teachers and staff stepped in to support both our students and each other. This episode highlights the importance of relationships—not just with students, but with coworkers—showing that trust, loyalty, and resilience are the foundation of a line that won’t break. Through bending when necessary, standing firm when it counts, and carrying each other’s load, we demonstrate that holding the line is about showing up for everyone in it.
