Last night, we bid farewell to our extraordinary ‘25-26 senior student representatives, who sat for the last public meeting of their term. Over the course of their terms, each was prolific, dedicated and inspired in their service. Their representation of the students of Washington DC could not be more highly commended, and we couldn’t be more proud. Join us in wishing them well as they continue on this beautiful journey we call life.

We’re still in awe of what DC youth did last night at the first-ever Youth Civic Leadership Summit 🥰 More than 100 students grades 8-12, representing more than 18 public/public charter schools, came out to discuss with city leaders what should be done to address top school support and safety concerns. Issue areas covered included Literacy, Mental Health, Safe Spaces, Student Voice in Decision-making, School Staff/Student Relationships and Police/Community Relationships.

We thank our partners in DC government who came out last night to listen, engage, and help students refine their recommendations: @osse.dc, @dcpcsb, @dmefordc, @dcpublicschools, @cmcharlesallen, @chendwex, @ddotdc, and @dcdmpsj. And we also thank our event co-hosts: @mikvachallengedc, @dc.advocate, and @edtrust. This event was a great success because of your tremendous efforts and passion for elevating student voice. by @dcsboe

Short passages can't do it alone. Whole books build the stamina, empathy, and deep thinking DC students need for college and beyond.
