We do our first whole group podcast bringing in the leaders of Team McClarnon. Team McClarnon is named after Central Alumni and Central Hall of Fame member Zahn McClarnon. Teachers help run one of the many Freshman Academies at Central that support incoming Freshman to be successful at Central. McClarnon is one of the many teams at Central, other academies include: Sayers, Townsend, and Crandell. You may recall, we discussed Freshman Academies in a previous episode with Matt Hamill. Matt is the team leader for Team Townsend.

We recorded this show during Holiday Break when the weather turned nasty. We had a ton of fun sitting together and reflecting on our teaching and things at Central. I hope you enjoy the show and share with others!
