Developing Student Character with Stephanie Eccles, Director of Excelsior Academy
Show Notes

The featured conversation this week is with Stephanie Eccles, Executive Director at Excelsior Academy located in Erda, Utah. We learn about Excelsior and Stephanie's familial push into education (which she appreciated!) We frankly discuss the role of character education in a student's life and how Excelsior seeks to develop good people and not just good students.

Excelsior also has a podcast called Excelsior Speaks. We encourage you to check it out, especially Excelsior Writes about Grit, discussed in this episode.
