The RISE Academy Rededication Ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the completely renovated building that is bringing new life to this school community. For years, RISE Academy operated entirely out of portable classrooms. This new space is more than just a building, it represents the District's dedication to providing a safe, inspiring, and empowering environment for every student. We look forward to seeing what RISE Academy accomplishes in its new home!

Thank you @CBS12 for recognizing the good work of @PBSchoolsPD Officer DuPuis! We’re fortunate to have our own School Police Department with caring and compassionate officers that protect and serve our students and school communities!

Local school districts and universities are back in session across the region. THINK before you post something. Making a threat against a school or college is never funny - it's dangerous and puts students, teachers, and parents in fear. The FBI and our partners WILL investigate.

[Sean Cooley @PBSCooley]

Appreciate JA for organzing & @CBS12 for covering.

What does preparing 15,000 8th graders for the future look like?

“Today is very special. Just making regional Teacher of the Year...it’s also one year since my son passed away, and I was gonna stay home. Alaya said, ‘Ms. Jackson, are you coming to work tomorrow?’ And I said, ‘I’m not sure.’ She says, ‘Well, don't forget what you told us, we need you just like you need us.’ And so I made the decision to come to work today.” - South Region Teacher of the Year Ms. Lawanna S. Jackson
