We Stand on our Reputation

"Halo provided us present, caring, and knowledgeable consultants with a presence of compassion who offered expert advice during a very difficult time. Their support was instrumental in coordinating essential services and establishing systems of support for our students, staff, and community. Thanks to their efforts, we emerged stronger than before, with lasting systems that continue to benefit us today. Beyond their role as consultants, they became a part of our educational family, staying connected and continuing to offer caring support over the years."

"Following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Harvey, Halo’s Dr. C.J. Huff provided effective, experienced, and compassionate support to the superintendents and education leaders in the Houston region. With over 1.2 million students, as well as school staff, and dozens of severely impacted communities his expertise and focus on not only response but recovery and growth were invaluable. I have the utmost respect for C.J. and called on him frequently as I dealt with additional crises in the years that followed."

"During a devastating wildfire that impacted our entire county, we were fortunate enough to have C.J. Huff as a consultant from the Halo team. As a former Superintendent who had navigated emergencies and disasters himself, C.J. brought valuable understanding and firsthand experience."

“[C.J. Huff is] a model for those who study resilience.”

“With unwavering courage and unshakable resolve, C.J. has led the Joplin Schools forward. He has been an inspiration to us all. I’m proud to have worked closely in partnership with C.J., and I’m even more proud to call him my friend. Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in thanking one of Missouri’s –one of America’s–finest leaders and educators, Superintendent C.J. Huff.”

“I hope I would have had a little of C.J.’s toughness, commitment, and tenacity had I been faced with a similar situation. Places like Joplin we are going to watch very, very closely. They have a chance to create some model schools for the 21st century.”

"After all, a lot of you could’ve spent your senior year scattered throughout different schools, far from home. But Dr. Huff asked everyone to pitch in so that school started on time, right here in Joplin. He understood the power of this community, and the power of place"

“Your passion, vision, and dedication have been an inspiration to us all!! You have truly brought the eyes of the nation – and the world – to our doorstep. Thank you for giving us hope and lifting us up on the wings of an eagle.“

“I wanted to let you know how organized your strategic planning process was from the beginning. Your leadership with the process was very impressive. I have been involved with this process in two districts, and have helped five or six districts in the area. I have never seen the process so organized as yours – even including the two I led! I appreciate and value your leadership and friendship!”
