@TedLeonsis @dcpublicschools Thank you, Ted. Grateful for the @MSE partnership and your commitment to the young people of our great city.

Chancellor Lewis Ferebee has been an outstanding public servant and a steady, effective leader for @dcpublicschools. Under his leadership, DC students posted the strongest post-COVID academic gains in the country, a remarkable achievement that reflects focus, accountability, and a deep commitment to students and families during an incredibly challenging time. I’ve also been proud to work alongside Lewis through @dccapscholars, where he has been a dedicated and engaged Advisory Board member who consistently showed up for our scholars. Now, as he takes on the CEO role at EdReports, I’m confident he’ll continue to make a meaningful impact in education. Congratulations, Lewis, and thank you for your leadership and service. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

Thank you @DCPSChancellor Ferebee for your leadership of @dcpublicschools over the past eight years!

We are deeply grateful for Chancellor Ferebee’s eight years of service to our students, schools, and city. Under the leadership of our longest-serving Chancellor, graduation rates reached 78%, enrollment grew to more than 52,000 students, and DC became a national leader in academic recovery. These achievements are the result of clear focus, strong vision, and a shared commitment to our students. We are proud to see his impact extend beyond the District, and know his leadership will continue to shape the future of DCPS for years to come. Chancellor, you have done not just a great job—but an outstanding job. Thank you.

Howard University Hospital, in partnership with D.C. Public Schools, proudly hosted a powerful 2nd Annual Mini-Medical School White Coat Ceremony for students from Harriet Tubman Elementary School. During this inspiring event, students were formally “coated,” symbolizing their first step into the world of medicine. With guidance and mentorship from Howard University College of Medicine students, these young scholars gained early exposure to healthcare careers, opening doors to future opportunities in science and medicine. Programs like this are helping to build a more diverse healthcare workforce while inspiring the next generation right here in our community.
