Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

It’s National School Counseling Week and we are proud to celebrate the vital impact our AMAZING school counselors have on OUR learners’ success, career planning, and social-emotional development. Thank you Ms. Reynolds, Ms. Marshall, & Ms. Noel for all you do!!
