Ryan Sines -Lessons From The Locker Room

We sit down with Principal Ryan Sines to trace the real arc of an athlete—from freshman underdog playing up with seniors to a leader whose voice carries beyond the locker room.

Ms. McGuinness - From Fraser Gym Lights To Lifelong Grit
The gym lights were bright, the crowd was louder, and the smoke machines rolled—but the real story lived in the habits no one saw.

Mr. Sanko - From High School Courts To Classroom Grit: How Competition Shapes Character
What if the fire that drove you through high school sports never really leaves—just changes shape? We sit down with Mr. Sanko, a world history teacher whose identity was forged on the court and diamond, to unpack how competition, coaching, and even superstition follow you into adult life. The talk is candid, sometimes funny, and often raw: hating to lose more than loving to win, learning from a brutal 0-15 season, and translating that edge into a classroom where accountability is a daily game...
