Vice Principal Unofficed

Vice Principal Unofficed

The bell has rung, the kids are in the halls, and the office door is finally closed. Welcome to Vice Principal UnOfficed. Ironically, host Lisa Hill never planned to work in education—but thanks to her dad, that’s exactly where she ended up. Now retired after a career spanning roles as a school counselor, college professor, and vice principal, Lisa is opening up the "confidential" files to prove that truth really is stranger (and definitely funnier) than fiction in K–12 schools. Vice Principal UnOfficed takes listeners behind the scenes of the real-life chaos inside American public schools. Weaving together stories from Lisa’s own unexpected journey and the unforgettable moments that shaped her career, the show delivers a masterclass in school culture—with a sharp dose of sarcasm. It’s the kind of "professional development" you actually want to attend: insightful, heart-centered, and just enough wisdom to keep you sane.
