Part 5/8:
A key element of the Swarm initiative was developing student leaders, especially eighth graders, who took on roles to motivate younger students and serve as role models. These leaders participated in framing the culture of the school, exemplifying the very traits the Swarms represented.
Staff also embraced the changes, with teamwork playing a vital role. Teachers and administrators collaborated to ensure the success of the new programs, coordinating efforts and maintaining a unified vision amid a busy and sometimes chaotic school environment.
