"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🕊️

In honor of the life and legacy of Dr. King, all School District of Palm Beach County schools and offices are closed today, Monday, January 19, 2026.

As we reflect on these words, we remain committed to fostering both the intelligence and the character of every student we serve.
