DC Scholars Public Charter School

We’ll be celebrating this all summer. 🎉💙

Every single one of our Rising PK4 and 6th grade scholars re-enrolled for next year. The whole class, coming back together. To all of our families, thank you for continuing to trust us with your children. Knowing that every familiar face will be walking back through our doors in the fall is the best feeling in the world.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, little Bulldogs. We will be right here waiting to hear all about your summers. 💙

Happy last day of school to our entire Bulldog family! 🎉💙

What a year it has been. Our scholars grew in ways that go far beyond any test score or report card. They built friendships, developed character, discovered new strengths, and showed us every single day what it means to be a Bulldog.

To our students: you earned this break. Rest, recharge, and come back ready for everything next year has in store. To our families: thank you for trusting us with your children. It is the greatest honor we know.

Drop a note in the comments to let us know what you’re up to this summer. See you next year, Bulldogs! 💙

DC is making history with Ranked Choice Voting and we want every family in our community ready and informed before June 16. 🗳️💙

Here is how it works: DC voters approved Ranked Choice Voting, which means instead of choosing just one candidate, you now rank your preferences in order. First choice, second choice, third choice. If your top candidate is eliminated, your vote automatically counts toward your next pick. The result is an election where more voices are heard and every vote carries more weight throughout the process.

Watch the video linked below for a full walkthrough, share it with someone in your community who wants to be prepared, and make a plan to get to the polls on June 16. Your vote matters and now it goes even further. 💙

Ranked Choice Voting: Here's What You Need to Know For the first time in DC history, voters will use Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in the June 16 primary election. How does it work and why does it matter? Watch ...

Yesterday, seven middle school scholars traveled to the Wilson Building to make their voices heard and tell our councilmembers to fully fund charter schools. These community-minded scholars will be the civic leaders of the future!

Something really special happened at DC Scholars. 💙

Our 1st grade scholars were invited to the 2nd grade Celebration of Learning, where they got a front-row seat to what awaits them next year. The 2nd graders presented on pollination with so much knowledge and confidence that our 1st graders and their teachers left having genuinely learned something new.

Thank you to Ms. Thomas, Ms. Janifer, and Mr. Wildgoose for collaborating to create this experience. And a special thank you to the 2nd graders who welcomed our youngest scholars so warmly and showed them exactly what they have to look forward to. 💙

At DC Scholars, we celebrate our scholars every chance we get and Ms. Hedgepeth leads that charge on the regular. 🏆💙

Today we want to shine a light on two of our recent P.A.T.H. Scholar Award recipients: Kendall and Khloe.

Kendall, a 3rd grade scholar, has maintained a strong attendance all year long. He is the kind of student who leads by example every single day just by being consistent, respectful, and dedicated. Seeing him beam with pride after receiving his award was a moment none of us will forget.

Khloe scored a 4 on both ELA and Math DC CAPE during the 2024-2025 school year. And every one of Khloe's three siblings at DC Scholars scored either a 4 or 5 on both ELA and Math DC CAPE as well. That is a family built on hard work and high achievement.

Congratulations to Kendall and Khloe. You make Bulldog Nation so proud. 💙
