Bentli Lewis

We are excited to celebrate Mrs. Bentli Lewis, 2026 SC Middle Level Principal of the Year! Her leadership at Oakbrook Middle School in @TeamDDTwo proves what happens when principals know their students, work to support their teachers, and invest in relationships. Congrats! 👏👏👏

Just like our staffulty — principals are people, too. When we lead with love and show up for our staff, they show up for us. 💙 #SchoolLeadership #LeadWithHeart #MiddleSchoolPrincipal #Worthy

The best thing we can do for people is love them where they’re at - no matter where that might be. This takes intentional thought and deep care, but everyone deserves a champion.

Never underestimate the power you carry to make a difference in someone else’s story. You don’t have to be the main character. You just have to be willing to show up. 🤍 #worthy #JRGC25 #RenTalk

So proud of our school and this team! The way they lead and love is unmatched. It is an HONOR to be your principal and serve in the trenches with you. We aren’t finished 💙🦅💪 #AboveTheRest #Worthy #JRGC25 @J_Renaissance

@MsEngleTeach @J_Renaissance Can’t wait to see you either!!!!!

What an amazing day to be celebrated as a @J_Renaissance Educator of the Year! My team pulled of the ultimate surprise: entire school, district office staff, my family, & some friends in our gym without me having a clue! (Not sure if that says more about them or me 😂. ) 💙

Literally the best surprise. I will never, ever forget this day or the love my staff, students, family, district office staff, and school board members showed me. 💙

Had the best time with @philboyte and was honored to be considered for this episode! Hope you all enjoy and can build a little fun into your workplace!

Thank you @J_Renaissance for coming to SC. You gave me the very best day 💙🦅🎉

Remember that at the end of every day, every adult in your building is a person. Fight for that relationship with them, even on their bad days, and remind them that you’re a person too 💙

Leadership isn't about power or position—it’s about people. When we miss caring for them, we miss the mark of leadership. #LeadWithPeople

We tell our teachers they can’t pour from an empty cup, & as building leaders we try to keep cups as full as possible. The same is true for building leaders, but there aren’t people filling our cups. Take care of your leadership teams and give the encouragement they also need.
