We were proud to recognize an exciting moment in student leadership at our August 12 Board of Education meeting as we officially welcomed our Student Board Member, Gabrielle Cunningham, and Alternate Student Board Member, Aubi Farmer.
Both students took the Oath of Office, marking the beginning of their service and an important opportunity to bring the student voice to our Board of Education. We are grateful for their willingness to step forward, represent their fellow students, and take on this meaningful responsibility.
Student participation in school governance provides a valuable perspective and reminds us that our students are at the heart of every decision we make. We look forward to hearing their ideas, perspectives, and experiences throughout the coming school year.
Congratulations to our Student Board Members! We are excited to have you serving as an important voice for our students.

Our amazing transportation team hosted this summer’s driver education class at the bus garage, yesterday, for additional training on sharing the roadways with the yellow school bus! Students learned about stopping distance around the bus while students are loading and unloading, the danger zone, divided highways and bus stop laws. They were even able to practice at mock bus stops for first hand experience as motorists!
