Season Finale: Learning, Leading, and Leaping Together

In this special end-of-year episode, Superintendent Dr. Eric Becoats reflects on the William Penn School District’s ongoing budget challenges and the vital role of community voice and advocacy in shaping the future of our schools. He shares a heartfelt message of unity, urgency, and hope as the district approaches its June 30th budget deadline.

Then, Dr. Becoats sits down with three members of the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council: Nykeysiah Williams (12th grade), Kadija Dukuray (11th grade), and Robert Dunlap (11th grade). Together, they discuss student leadership, what it means to represent their peers, and the lessons they’ve learned, both in and outside of the classroom.

With reflections, laughter, and a bit of Kermit the Frog wisdom, this episode reminds us that in William Penn, we don’t leap alone — we leap together.
