A dedicated team of our teachers and administrators recently traveled to Atlanta to participate in the RCA Experience (RCA EXP) at the world-renowned Ron Clark Academy!
Our team dove deep into RCA’s legendary House System—learning dynamic strategies to boost school culture, foster student engagement, build meaningful relationships, and cultivate character across our entire school community.
From experiencing the high-energy house reveals to learning best practices for point tracking, house meetings, and student leadership, our educators returned re-energized and full of innovative ideas to bring back to our classrooms.
We can’t wait to share this excitement and see the positive impact of the House System in our schools!
