The STEP team is officially in the "lab" this morning! We are deep-diving into the first 8 weeks of the 2026-2027 school year, ensuring our students have the strongest possible start.

What makes these sessions so vital isn’t just the logistics—it’s the collaboration. Seeing this team come together to balance high-level strategy with thoughtful, goal-oriented lessons is inspiring. We aren't just planning a schedule; we’re building a foundation for student achievement.

During Workshop Week, we took our Project SEARCH group on a special visit to Torch 180. This is the place where many of their incredible work journeys first began!

It’s so inspiring to revisit where the foundation was laid and to celebrate how far everyone has come. Thank you to Torch 180 for being such an important part of their story. We're proud to support their continued growth!
