Before last night's Board of Education meeting, representatives from each of our schools met in the lobby of the Family and Community Engagement Center for the annual Passionate People Recognition Ceremony. The Passionate People award highlights the dedicated employees of our district who go above and beyond to support student success. We honor each of these individuals for their deep commitment to the community and for being the "heart" of our schools.
