Good to Great: Improving Student Outcomes at Midland High School in TX

Midland High School faces a variety of challenges  that impact students and their performance at school including difficulty filling teacher vacancies, socio-economic gaps, and a transient community due to the large oil industry. To address these challenges, Dr. Leslie Sparacello, principal, and her staff implemented a variety of initiatives utilizing the principles from the Jim Collins bestseller Good to Great. The result has been soaring test scores, improved graduation rates, and a shrinking achievement gap.
