Standard Six: External Development Leadership
Throughout my time during my internship, I had the opportunity to learn about the deep community connections to our school. This was most evident through the community event we planned as our school plans to transition to another campus next year. We invited alumni and community members to come visit the campus one final time before the current school building is torn down and renovated. I learned the importance of fostering relationships with our community base through our PTSA, Chamber of Commerce Education Council, and numerous alumni. Observing the relationships and partnerships that have been built in the community allowed me to see the importance and benefit of being intentional about fostering external development throughout a school community.
