welcome newburgh

we’re excited to welcome the newburgh enlarged city school district to our community! over the next school year, newburgh will redesign their middle school instructional approach and focus on leadership development.

shoutout to marion csd for taking important steps to help mold the future educators of our students. marion is working with one of the region's largest local teacher preparation colleges to establish a partnership. they hope to have speech-language therapists and teacher education students on-site to experience and learn about the instructional philosophies and practices of personalized learning. leadership staff from the college recently engaged in a series of learning walks through marion classrooms, and left excited about the possibilities for their students in learning more about these innovative teaching practices.
