In this episode of Brighter Together, Lezlie Katz, director of Marshall Academy, shares how leading a full K–12 charter school through cultural shifts, tech challenges, and emotional hurdles can lead to stronger, more connected learning environments.

She unpacks how small class sizes, clear values, and classical learning practices are transforming student resilience, and why every school needs someone kids can count on during moments of crisis.

This is the real story behind ‘wearing all the hats’—and the leadership required to keep schools human in a digital world.
