Students had the honor of hearing from Rev. Dr. Derek King, Sr., a powerful voice for justice and education, carrying forward the legacy of his uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His words inspired us to stand for what’s right and believe in the power of education to change lives
Honored to serve as honorary co-chair of the 89th Battle Creek NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet! Grateful for this opportunity to support justice, unity, and progress in our community. Let’s keep pushing for equity and freedom for all! #NAACP#FreedomFund#BattleCreek#Equity
Proud to share Battle Creek’s story of Teacher Recruitment & Retention alongside Megan Russell Johnson from @WKKF at the Michigan Partnership for Equity & Opportunity Retreat! Grateful for partnerships that drive real change for our students & educators. #BCPS#MPEO#EdEquity
Proud of our varsity athletes for volunteering at one of our PreK-2 schools today! They shared their love of reading with our youngest learners, showing that leadership goes beyond the field. 🏅📚 #StudentAthletes#ReadersAreLeaders#BearcatPride
Last week, our high school students took the lead in shaping the future of our district! 🌟 These remarkable young minds are playing a critical role in designing our new strategic plan. Their voices matter. #StudentLeadership#FutureReady#StrategicPlan2025#YouthVoicesMatter
Empowered, visionary, and leading the way! These incredible African American female superintendents representing TX, MI and IL gave up their weekend to advocate for equitable policies and stronger schools at the NABSE legislative retreat.
The new "Bearcat Advantage" scholarship seeks to eliminate opportunity gaps for BCPS graduates and improve access to higher education. https://t.co/MpMH7HV1pv
This is what an education superhero looks like! Our Head football coach (and now interim athletic director) decided that kids won’t miss out on his watch due to a bus driver shortage….so he got his license and is driving kids to athletic events! #BearcatPride
Thank you Governor Whitmer for lowering costs in Michigan and increasing investments in public education! A woman making history during women’s history month! 💪🏾 #ImwithThatWomanFromMichigan
Today was a great day to be a Bearcat! 49 organizations showed up and showed out for our kids, sharing their expertise and knowledge at our annual career exploration fair. #BearcatAdvantage

Another great opening day! Today I got to celebrate the dedicated, committed and passionate individuals known as BCPS heroes and listen to a great key note presentation by Dr. Aaron Johnson author of A Walk in Their Kicks. I’m looking forward to another great year!
