In this episode of Moving Forward – Conversations on Culture, Identity, Healing, and Hope, I sit down with Eddie Velez, an educator and Solution Tree Associate who has dedicated his career to transforming school culture.
As principal of Kennedy High School in Fremont, CA, Eddie and his team created PRIDE — Prepared, Respectful, Impact, Discipline, Explore — a shared vision that reshaped discipline, reduced suspensions by 40%, and built a more inclusive school community. Now, as a national consultant, Eddie helps schools across the country strengthen culture, equity, and collaboration.
Eddie’s insights extend far beyond schools — offering lessons for anyone leading with purpose and vision.
