Using a Crisis to Redefine School Culture
Huddleston, Lisa
Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v17 n4 p78-85 Dec 2014
This case involves a small town in the southwestern United States. Background descriptions of the community and school are provided, including historical and demographic information. As the community and school transition from a small ranching town into a bedroom community for the large city nearby, tensions related to race and wealth erupt in a confrontation on school grounds between students from the high school and a local doctor. School employees, in particular the principal, must address how to repair and transform their school culture following this crisis.
