Happy Pi Day from your favorite math team! We have an admin team full of former math teachers 🖤💙 Fun fact: Dr. Sackey, principal, was my department chair my first year at SHS. Now we're leading it!

Our scholars were ready and focused today. Safe to say, SAT Day was a success! Being the Testing Coordinator and the AP of these awesome juniors, I had to make sure they had a little fuel 💙🖤 They ate all the snacks 🤣

@DrNormanCSauce3 @SMHSUPDATES @DeKalbSchools Happy Belated Birthday, Dr. Sauce!

I was treated to two extraordinary birthday surprises today: @DeKalbSchools Board of Education invited my birthday greetings just before our Board meeting started & our Senior Cabinet surprised me with song & vegan birthday cake! What a way to bring in the Big 4-8!

Go luck to our junior Jags tomorrow! SAT School Day is here! #ExpectSuccess #ExcellenceinAcademics

Today’s CCV at Stephenson High School showcased intentional growth. The team clearly reflected on fall feedback and implemented meaningful adjustments that were evident in classrooms during the winter visit. This is what continuous improvement looks like! #CCV @damian_bounds
