We are galloping into a new chapter at James Ryder Randall Elementary School!

This week, we proudly opened a brand-new Ben Carson Reading Room, a space designed to inspire young minds, spark imagination, and build a lifelong love of reading. This room is ready to help students THINK BIG and ride toward their future.

The final stop of our 2026 banquet season has arrived! 🌴📸✨

Photos from our Carson Scholars Banquet in San Diego, CA are now live on our website—and with that, all six banquet galleries are officially here!

What an incredible season it has been celebrating our outstanding Carson Scholars and the families who support them every step of the way 💙 From Pittsburgh to the West Coast, each event was filled with unforgettable moments, inspiring stories, and so much joy.

To all of our scholars: congratulations again on your amazing accomplishments 🏆 Thank you for letting us celebrate alongside you—we are so proud of all you’ve achieved!
