When Brandi Leggett, a passionate principal, takes on the challenge to transform her Title One school in Leytha, Kansas, she sets out to prove that all students can achieve at high levels. In this episode you will hear:
1. How Principal Leggett builds community and encourages high achievement among her students in a high poverty school.
2. How she engages families with a variety of events, such as STEM night, culture night, and family game night.
3. How she creates exposure for her students by taking them on college campus tours and introducing them to post-high school opportunities.
