Superintendent's Message

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year!

This year marks the beginning of a new era for our district, with several exciting initiatives on the horizon including:

1. A multi-million-dollar solar project to reduce our energy consumption and promote sustainability.
2. A new strategic partnership with Blue Sky Energy to enhance our STEM High School program.

3. Continued planning for our new Johnnie Cochran Gifted and Talented Academy, scheduled to open in September 2026.

Next, to ensure our collective vision guides our future, we will begin creating a new District Strategic Plan that will drive our key priorities and goals for the next five years. We invite you to join us at any of the upcoming Town Hall events to learn more:

Sept. 18th at Campus High School (344 Prospect Street) - 6:30 pm
Sept. 25th at Cicely Tyson Community School (35 Winans Street) - 7:00 pm
Oct. 16th at Banneker Academy (500 S. Clinton Street) - 6:30 pm
