Clark said the red carpet welcome has been a fixture at the school for nearly a decade.

“We believe in starting things big and ending things big,” Clark said. “Our school is academically a beast, so we surround the students with love, passion and energy to help them get through.”

Clark said Monday that more than 12,000 teachers from across the world have been in his school at 228 Margaret St. SE in Atlanta this school year to be trained in the methods that are working for his students.
