Events and accomplishments continue to stack up this spring! We will honor a record number of Superintendent Scholars (182) on April 25. Each scholar has earned a grade point average of at least 4.0 throughout high school, which is an amazing accomplishment! On the evening of the 25th, we will honor several employees for meeting years of service milestones and thank our retirees for their service at the Salute to Staff event. Also, the D51 Foundation has its annual White Iced fundraiser at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 22 outdoors on the CMU Plaza - I hope you can all join me there!
