High School Reimagined
Rethinking Time, Tech and Transformation, featuring Inner Peak AI and Socrait
High school is being reimagined — right now, in real time.
The boundary between academic support and mental health care is blurring. And teachers and counselors, already stretched thin, are navigating an AI-powered world without a roadmap.
On April 22, 2026, Ben Anandappa from Inner Peak AI and Maria Andersen of Socrait joined LEAP Innovations for a fireside chat where we got honest about what transformation actually looks like on the ground — messy, urgent, and full of possibility. The conversation explored how AI is reshaping the high school day for teachers, counselors, and students alike. Presenters got real about what overworked educators might do with time "saved" by ed tech tools. They also examined the difference between healthy and harmful AI use for teens, and how schools can encourage the former. Watch the session’s recording to explore what the reimagined high school could actually look like — and how to start building it now.
