Black History Month
Honoring Contributions, Celebrating Community
Each February, we observe Black History Month to honor the achievements and lasting contributions of Black leaders, innovators, and communities throughout history. This annual reconition provides an opportunity to reflect on important milestones, learn from inspiring stories, and recognize the impact these individuals have had on our nation and our state. By highlighting voices past and present, we seek to encourage understanding, promote respect, and strengthen unity across our school district community.
Webinar Series
Join us every Wednesday in February for a dynamic webinar series designed to spark conversation and connection. Each session will feature thought‑provoking speakers and engaging discussions that explore themes of history, culture, and progress. Whether you attend one or all, these webinars offer an opportunity to learn together, celebrate diversity, and carry forward the spirit of Black History Month in meaningful ways.
2027 webinar series details will be updated once we have additional information.
