Post Prom Prank: An Independent School Webinar

Hosted by: Chris Hancock, Head of School at Benchmark School

Join us on Thursday, November 4th at 3:30 PM EDT | 12:30 PM PDT

In this discussion, Chris Hancock will facilitate our newest simulation, Post Prom Prank. In this simulation, you are the Head of School at the Harkness Academy and you are forced to navigate leadership decisions that impact board members, students, senior leadership, and others after a prominent student commits a post-prom prank. How would you navigate your relationships with various constituents and the reactions to inappropriate student behavior connected to a school-sanctioned event?
