In an effort to turn around her failing school, Muriel Summers, Principal of A.B. Combs Leadership Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh, N.C., identified leadership as her school magnet theme based on community feedback. She approached FranklinCovey as a partner in designing, developing and implementing a leadership model for her school, which drew on The 7 Habits and also incorporated Baldridge quality tools and other educational best practices. Within a few years, A.B. Combs experienced what they viewed as a complete turnaround, ultimately being named #1 Magnet School in the U.S., twice.
When Principal Muriel Summers asked parents and business leaders what they wanted in their schools, what she heard reinforced what most people believe-that our schools should not merely be focused on improving test scores, but should provide opportunities for students to develop their full potential.
