Mr. Steve Hirt was more than an educator—he was the heart of North Monterey County High School (NMCHS) in Castroville, CA. In this episode of This American Principal, Joan Schumann (your host and former NMCHS ASB President) revisits the traditions, mentorship, and quiet courage that made Mr. Hirt a legend to generations of Condors. From “Make it Big, Do it Right, Give it Class” to inspiring student leaders to watch out for the “invisible kids,” this conversation explores how a principal’s belief can change a school—and a life. If you walked the Condor campus during Hirt's era, you’ll recognize the story. And if you didn’t, you’ll learn what it means, as a school leader, to truly leave behind a legacy.Keywords: Trust in schools; American education; school leadership; leadership in education; principal voices; principal; American leadership storiesShare this podcast with a colleague, mentor, or friend who needs to hear it.
