ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mark Larson is the principal of Lincoln High School, a school in the core of the city with students from more than fifty countries and one of Nebraska's three International Baccalaureate programs. He joins Randy Bretz and Dr. Marilyn Moore to talk about what makes Lincoln High distinctive, the community partners who help meet students' needs, and the story behind the school's mascot, the Links. Mark also shares his own path to Lincoln High — from a small town in central Nebraska to more than two decades in the same building — and reflects on the last days of the school year, the weight and joy of graduation, and why relationships remain at the center of his work.
Recorded at The Coffee Roaster in Lincoln, Nebraska.
