Middle School Culture Blueprint: Reflections from the Field

Creating a Positive Start to the 2026–2027 School Year

I am grateful to host this conversation with Catholic educators, school leaders, and diocesan leaders who are serving and making a difference in and for middle school communities.

Featured guests:

Dr. Nancy Baker

Mary Peters

Lynsie Reavis

Karina Lepkowski

Tricia Florance

This episode is connected to The Middle School Culture Blueprint, a manuscript project I am blessed to be developing with Dr. LaTonya White.

Together, we laugh and discuss practical ways to welcome teachers, support students, build belonging, strengthen team culture, and begin the school year with intention, clarity, and JOY.
