People. Purpose. Pride. Building for the Future. 💙

Last night, we had the privilege of celebrating the people who make Madison Metropolitan School District stronger every day at our inaugural People, Purpose, Pride — Building for the Future Leadership Celebration.

As MMSD plans for the future of a growing city, we know that our greatest strength is our people — the educators, staff, community partners and advocates who help students thrive and create opportunities for generations to come.

Congratulations to our 2026 award recipients:
🏆 People Award – Sonia Spencer
🏆 Purpose Award – Kirsten Fruit
