Once the Halls Are Quiet

This New Year’s Eve episode takes a different approach as we pull back the curtain on the work and conversations that happen beyond the classroom and outside the school day. Listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at the human side of administration, the decisions, balance, and relationships that shape our building long before the first bell and long after the last one rings. As we close out the year, we want to thank everyone who has listened, shared, and supported the podcast along the way. We truly appreciate you being part of our community. Wishing all of our listeners a happy, healthy New Year, we’re excited for what’s ahead.

We lean into the holiday spirit with a round of Naughty or Nice and a festive Draft Day: Holiday Movie Edition, bringing out strong opinions and plenty of laughs. A fun, lighthearted episode that proves sometimes the best paths begin with a little mistake.

We explore what it means to try boldly, learn openly, and model resilience for the next generation.

Investing in the Nest

This week’s show kicks off a little differently than usual, with some film talk and a chance to get to know one of the educators in our building in a new and unexpected way. From there, the conversation continues with a guest whose work helps strengthen the opportunities available to our students and school community. We dive into stories about creativity, support, and what it means to invest in the people and programs that make WSHS what it is. A thoughtful episode that blends connection, gratitude, and the many ways our school is supported behind the scenes.

Thankful for the Voices Around Us

This week, we highlight a voice whose influence can be felt throughout our district, offering insight into what it means to shape a positive school culture through connection, leadership, and the everyday actions that make WSHS stronger, and because this conversation wasn’t nearly long enough, a Round 2 is already on the horizon. We keep the Thanksgiving spirit alive with a special Draft Day: Thanksgiving Sides Edition, where the debate gets almost as heated as the gravy on the table! A thoughtful, festive episode celebrating the voices that help guide our Winhawk family.

The Pod That Never Was

This week, we’re bringing back a special guest for a second take — the first interview may have been lost, but the conversation was too good not to revisit. Our guest is new to WSHS but far from new to education, bringing years of experience, wisdom, and heart to our building. We talk teaching, transitions, and the excitement of starting fresh while still honoring the journey that led here. Sometimes the encore really is better than the original.

We talk about empowering students with real-world skills, building a supportive school community, and helping every Winhawk feel seen and valued. A heartfelt, uplifting episode reminding us that kindness has the power to shape our school every single day.
