Building a Bilingual School Culture
In this episode of the Linking Leaders PodCASt, we sit down with Diurca Lugo-Tomasella, the 2026 Connecticut Elementary School Principal of the Year, to unpack how she has built a dual language school where identity, biliteracy, and high expectations live side by side. We talk culture systems, family partnership, teacher leadership, and the habits that help principals carry the weight of the work without carrying it alone.
