🏳️🌈 Happy Pride Month!
This June, we recognize and celebrate our LGBTQ+ community and the many ways they strengthen our schools. We remain committed to creating spaces where every student and staff member feels respected, supported, and empowered to be themselves. 💛
This past Wednesday, we celebrated our Annual College Signing Day at Speer Academy! Our seniors were joined by their families, friends, and staff as we cheered them on and recognized their hard work and achievements as they prepare for their next chapter.
The celebration featured delicious treats from a Harold’s Chicken food truck, a taco truck, and a cupcake truck. A special thank you to Me And My Bears for generously gifting each senior a personalized bear to commemorate this milestone.
We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026 and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the future. CollegeSigningDay

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that how you feel matters. School, life, and everything in between can feel overwhelming at times, and that’s okay.
Take time this month to check in with yourself, talk to someone you trust, and support your friends. Whether it’s a conversation, a break, or asking for help, small steps can make a big difference.
You don’t have to go through anything alone!
