Message to Families from the Chair and Director
One of the most powerful aspects of the Olympic Games is the way the country comes together—uniting to cheer on our athletes, celebrate their achievements, and lift them up through both triumphs and challenges. That same spirit of collective pride and support is reflected in our board and school communities. It is deeply inspiring to see how families, staff and students come together to recognize effort, celebrate success and stand alongside one another.
