What they are saying about the Greatness InsideOUT team?

“Student leaders play a critical role in Building the Worlds Greatest High School because they are the role models, the initiators, and most of all - the friends and peers of the students that walk the halls.  Every student is looking for someone to pattern their life after and how cool is it when students model service, compassion, and spirit and other students on campus want to be a part of what they are creating!!  They will guide the leaders at your school and as a result be a guide to every student on your campus.”

--Phil Boyte, Author of “School Culture by Design”

"Park and Guy show us how to build a place where we are all valued and we all matter: It starts with building the understanding that each one of us has value, regardless of where we are in life."

--Mike Smith Live, Speaker, Professional Teenager

In organizations we face technical and transformational  challenges.  This work seeks to transform through a deliberate values approach.  This work allows us to look at our own personal values those that are both "real" and those that are aspirational.  The conversation around core values and  the individual and of the organization is the most important conversation we will ever have.

His incredible knowledge and insight gives purpose, cause, belief and motivation that is necessary to drive schools to the highest level of success.

--HS Principal

When I started out as a new principal at a high school that needed some "revitalization", I searched for a resource to help me set the tome for the new year. I was pointed to "Building the Greatest High School". It is exactly the resource I needed to establish the mindset for my staff going into next year. I was also able to get Park to come out to a visioning and school culture staff retreat and I can't tell you how meaningful it was. Park is a master at building enthusiasm for school culture and provides examples from his life and from the book that truly made an impact with my staff. They are an awesome resource for building school culture and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!

--Mike West- Principal

After reading the World’s Greatest High School book series it allowed me to see my school, students, and Staffulty in a different light. It illuminated the world in a way that I realized everyday we can be better but more importantly we can make everyone else’s life better. We as educators have been given this opportunity to save each and every students life everyday. We decide whether to pull the plug or keep fighting for them.Their work will inspire you and your school to be the best!

Richard Parkhouse and Dr. Guy White have written the most down to earth, common sense, pull no punches text on what it takes to change or enhance the culture and climate of a/or all schools.  It's about ALL students, not just the Royal Family, Jocks, College bound etc. Schools are "family". What are we REALLY doing in Character Development, improving the drop out rate, low test scores, etc.?  If any of these areas need improvement in your school, you can count on Greatness InsideOUT!
