Today, we're pulling back the curtain on education with Malcolm Harvin Connor, a principal with a vision. How can we prepare our children for the future? Malcolm believes the keys are reading, writing, and critical thinking, and he's not afraid to set high expectations. Whether you're in the classroom or on the school bus, Malcolm insists that everyone plays a role in creating an educational environment that you'd want for your own children. 

Born in Nigeria and raised in the US, Malcolm brings a rich tapestry of experiences and challenges to his role in education. His immigrant mentality and firsthand experiences with poverty have shaped his belief that every child can be excellent. He refuses to lower his expectations, a stance inspired by the stereotypes he's faced about Africa. He has seen the power of high expectations firsthand, watching his first student triumph over adversity to graduate high school. 

Service leadership forms the backbone of Malcolm's approach. Using lessons from his military experience, he prioritizes observation and communication to understand the needs of his school and community. He's not just committed to creating a legacy of success in his community; he's committed to creating a future for education that meets the needs of every child. It's a conversation that promises to inspire and challenge your perception of education. Listen in and join us on this journey with Malcolm Harvin Connor.
