Ladue Schools aims to empower and prepare students to be agents of change and thrive in the real world. At Ladue Horton Watkins High School, that mission comes alive through innovative programs like the Catalyst program, which equips students with hands-on learning experiences and entrepreneurial skills.

In the latest episode of our podcast, Dr. Wipke sits down with two inspiring guests: Noah Temple, a senior at LHWHS who’s already making waves as a CEO, business owner, and social entrepreneur, and Jessica Kennedy, a standout teacher at Ladue Horton Watkins High School. Their conversation highlights how Ladue Schools fosters creativity, leadership, and real-world success.

Jessica explains how the Catalyst program is more than a curriculum—it’s a launching pad for innovation. Noah details how his entrepreneurial journey started in a middle school classroom but quickly expanded into the real world, thanks to the support of teachers and resources from Ladue Schools. Together, they create an episode that is a “must-listen” for anyone passionate about education, innovation, or the power of community.
