A culture of leadership isn't built overnight; it's created day by day and ingrained in our schools. In RISD, leadership lives everywhere. In our students finding their voice, teachers inspiring excellence, principals and district leaders who set the tone for our schools, and everyone in between. ✨ On National Leadership Day, we celebrate the impact of #EveryLeaderEveryDay who help shape our community. A special thank you to @IamBranum for her vision, leadership, and ensuring our students #RISDDreamBig!

My heart is so full right now! Yesterday, we hosted our FIRST HBCU College Fair and it was absolutely phenomenal—over 400 students from our high schools, all Divine Nine organizations represented, Dallas College, AVID, our superintendent and board members, branches of the military all in one place. And the performances?! Drumlines, steppers, dancers—the pride and excellence were on full display. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to every partner, volunteer, staff member, student leader, and family who helped make this happen. We made history today—and we’re keeping it going! @IamBranum you challenged us to DREAM BIG! @RichardsonISD
