2025 Workshop Talk | 51:16 | Culture & Faith, Leadership & Strategic

Summary


For years, we fought the prom battle. It took some providential working and a refocusing on the purpose for us to land on an event that captures the goal of celebration and provides families with a formal opportunity to rejoice together in fellowship and recognition of our students . . . and yes, we dance (just don’t let my Baptist church know).
