Congratulations to our inaugural Leadership VCS class! 🎉

Working with each of you throughout this past school year has been an incredible experience. Thank you for your enthusiasm, engagement, and commitment to learning more about Volusia County Schools and the many people and programs that support our students every day.

I am so proud of what we accomplished together and grateful that you took this inaugural journey with us!

Congratulations to our inaugural Leadership VCS class!

Tonight, we celebrated the first graduates of Leadership VCS, an eight-month, behind-the-scenes experience that gave business and community leaders an inside look at how Volusia County Schools serves nearly 60,000 students every day.

These graduates leave as informed advocates for public education, stronger community partners and champions for our students and educators. 💙

Congratulations, Leadership VCS Class of 2026!
