In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Courtney Whitehead. Courtney is the assistant principal at Carpenter’s Middle School in Blount County, Tennessee, a professor of education at a local university, and the queen of organization. We sat down in Courtney’s office for this conversation and to say that she has a captivating personality would be an understatement. She’s fun, energetic, and explains to us just what what true grit is. In our conversation today, you’ll even discover how riding a certain bus growing up shaped who she is today, how she got her gritty personality, and what she does to stay organized in her busy life.
