It has been an awesome two days of presenting at Model Schools. I am so proud of our district and this honor would not have been possible without the hard work of our teachers, staff, and students. Thank you to everyone who works hard daily in our school system. #MSC2023

I had a proud educator moment today when I realized how many of my former students are now teachers in our school system. I am so extremely proud of all of them. I wasn’t able to get a picture with all of them.
