A huge shout-out to our 2025 Alonzo A. Crim Award recipients! Throughout May, the Office of Equity + Social Justice traveled across our district to surprise and celebrate 10 incredible finalists—from individual staff members to entire schools. These superheroes support special populations, bridge language and cultural barriers, secure essential resources, amplify diverse voices, and partner with community organizations. Their work truly helps every student belong and thrive. Thank you for making our district a place where everyone belongs and can succeed! #AtlantaPublicSchools To learn more about this amazing story, check out #APSToday! apstoday.us/2025/06/06/atl…
