Keep Up With Us on Social Media
Yesterday, we honored the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and the power of community. His vision reminds us that change is possible when we stand together, lift one another up, and work toward a more equitable world. As a school, we are inspired to carry his message forward in our classrooms, in our communities, and in our daily actions—empowering our scholars to be leaders of kindness, courage, and positive change.
