Kenzie’s advice for incoming freshmen: “Try anything new that interests you. You’ll find out so much about yourself. Don’t be afraid of change—it makes high school exciting. And most importantly, don’t give up on yourself. Each day is a chance to start fresh.”

During National Educational Bosses Week, we recognize the dedicated leaders who help shape the direction of our District. From cabinet members to department directors, these individuals work to ensure that every student, every family and every staff member feels seen, supported and empowered.

Shayla's advice to freshmen: “Just pay attention and do the work—I wish I had taken that advice more seriously at first. And it’s okay to not know what you want to do in the future. You have time. Live in the moment, don’t miss out, and remember—you can have fun and still have time for school.”
