High school rallies, often tied to big events like homecoming games, were moments full of energy and excitement. These assemblies gave students a chance to see things they wouldn’t typically expect, and sometimes, that meant witnessing unexpected talent.
One such moment occurred at Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy in West Humboldt Park, where Principal Tyson Kane took to the floor. Mr. Kane, who oversees 17 charter schools, is known for breaking down barriers and teaching students to overcome embarrassment through demonstration—by dancing at school assemblies.
When he stood up at the assembly, everyone laughed, assuming it was all in good fun. But as the music started, their laughter quickly stopped. The principal’s moves were impressive, and the crowd was in awe. A video of the moment went viral, with viewers praising Mr. Kane for teaching not just through words but through action, showing his students how to conquer fear and embrace confidence.
It’s a lesson in leadership and courage that left everyone speechless.
