In this episode of Raiders in Focus, we’re joined by Jennifer Ragsdale, Head of Middle School, who offers thoughtful insight into the Middle School experience — from social-emotional well-being to the everyday moments that shape students as they transition from childhood to adolescence.

Jennifer explores key topics such as fostering belonging, supporting academic and emotional growth, the role of Success Workshops and other valuable resources, student agency and engagement, and the essential partnership between teachers, administrators, and parents.

It’s a meaningful conversation about how we can work together to empower students during these pivotal years.
