Looking back at last week’s Aspiring Teacher Support Sessions, one thing is clear: MSCS is investing in our future educators! 🍎✨

Our Aspiring Teachers Initiative is all about supporting early-career teachers on their journey toward licensure and success.

Big thanks to Interim Superintendent Dr. Roderick Richmond for showing his powerful support, to Dr. Daniel L. Jack for opening the sessions, and to presenters John T. Colenberg and Renee Dillard for their inspiring leadership.

We also extend gratitude to our outstanding EPP partners—iteach, Grand Canyon University, Freed-Hardeman University, and Christian Brothers University—for their ongoing collaboration.

Together, we’re helping future educators grow into great leaders. 💪

Professional school counselors filled the day with “Light on the Leaves,” centering integrity, student support services, and data-informed practices that help every student shine in K–12. Special thanks to Dr. Shuanta Broadway, Dr. Rhonda Hill, Dr. Sherenda Moss, and Dr. Constance Certion, and to Southwest Tennessee Community College for hosting such a warm and productive space for growth.
Reflection: How will you use today’s insights to strengthen your counseling practice and collaborations on campus?

As we continue into November Leadership Development Week with our Principals and Vice Principals, today’s theme shines bright: “Light on the Leaves.”

Integrity guides our work at MSCS, reminding us that growth is not always visible—but when the light hits it right, brilliance shows.

We’re celebrating the “Autumn Brilliance” of leaders who align instructional vision, equity, and data-informed practices to strengthen school communities.

Participants are encouraged to wear warm fall tones—gold, rust, or burgundy—or metallic accents that shimmer. ✨
