Leading the Way - EC Weekly Highlights

Leading Moments - Indian Hill Middle School

Breaking & Entering


Students in Mr. Minion's Latin class had to strategize different ways they would 'break in' to complete a heist. Using some of the basic tenets of Building Thinking Classrooms, students utilized the whiteboard space, collaborated on different ideas for success, then had to translate their work in Latin and share out!

Reading with Purpose


As technical writing and in-depth analysis continue to be some of the most desired traits in the world of work, Mrs. Moster kicked off the "The Outsiders" unit by discussing the art of annotation and why having strategies to do so allows one to read more deeply and with greater purpose!

Collaboration, Competition and Leadership in Action


This week our IHMS Braves split into their 'Houses' for a collective and fun competition - the buoyancy challenge! The goal was to build a boat with the supplies provided that can hold as much weight as possible.

The students were excited to hear Mr. Fries announce the winner.


Congratulations Moose House!

Leadership Learning for All

Over the past two days, 14 staff members from across our district came together to engage deeply in the Five Exemplary Practices of Leadership. This professional learning experience was an opportunity for our educators to pause, reflect, and grow, individually and collectively, as leaders. Through collaboration and guided reflection, participants explored how these practices can strengthen relationships, empower others, and ensure that our schools remain student-centered and future-driven.


Adult leadership learning is foundational to our IHPromise, as it models the way for cultivating leadership in every student. By continuing to grow as leaders ourselves, we build the culture and capacity for students to do the same. We are proud of the dedication our staff continues to show in leading with purpose and striving to create the very best experiences for every student, every day.
