Building Climate is extremely important in today's schools. Kids need to feel safe while being a part of a community.
I have worked this year at Maize High School to create a positive atmosphere. I have polled students on what is important to them, what is going well at our school and what is not. This has gained me insight on what could be improved upon at our school.
Building a positive climate can be done with little things. In 2014, I took over the duties of the Eagle Mascot. I tried to make sure the eagle could be seen at every event from games to eighth grade "Showcase Night" as well as fine arts events such as the Senior Art Show. School branding is so important for morale and camaraderie and the mascot's presence really helped with that.
Below is an administrative planner I developed for the next person who organizes eighth grade "Showcase".

In 2014, I developed a new Student of the Month nomination process in which students were nominated by teachers and they received not only preferential parking (see tag below), but a display case at the front of the school in which they could put their favorite things.
