Listen Later

Today our guests are Principal Rebecca Thompson & Associate Principal Charlee Breeden at Tomahawk Creek Middle School in Midlothian, VA

We talk to Rebecca & Charlee about how they create a safe, supportive environment in an overcrowded middle school. They highlight the power of knowing names, servant leadership, and safety. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of visibility in hallways, while both discuss how staff feedback has shaped Tomahawk Creek into a place where students and educators thrive. They also share practical strategies for improving the lunchroom, electronics policies, dismissal, and spirit weeks to build a stronger school culture.
