As the 2026-2027 school year gets underway, our Executive Director of Secondary Schools, Dr. Tamara Baker-Drayton, enjoyed visiting campuses and seeing firsthand the smiling faces, positive energy, and excitement that filled our schools during the first few days back. From eager students to enthusiastic principals, the excitement for a new year was impossible to miss! 😊📚

Every day a teacher makes a difference in the life of a child!

I appreciate every teacher in the educational field, preparing to enter the classroom, or has retired from education.

Thank you for making a positive difference in your student’s lives.
