🏫 Open Doors, Endless Opportunities: It’s Public Schools Week!

This week (February 23–27) is Public Schools Week! We are joining districts across the nation to celebrate the incredible things happening in our classrooms.

Public education is the cornerstone of our community. It’s where 90% of American students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. From the science lab to the art room, and the football field to the debate stage, our public schools offer a place for every child to discover their potential.

We are proud of our students, thankful for our educators, and grateful for a community that supports public education! 📚✨

👮‍♂️ Safety, Mentorship, and Community: Celebrating Our SROs! 🏫

Today, February 15, is National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!

We want to take a moment to recognize the sworn law enforcement officers who serve in our schools. Being an SRO is a unique role that bridges the gap between law enforcement and education. They aren't just here to keep our buildings safe—they are mentors, guest lecturers, and trusted adults for our students.

Thank you to our SROs for your dedication to fostering a safe learning environment and for building positive relationships with our youth. We appreciate your service! 💙

An infographic titled "National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day – February 15, 2026." The main visual features a bridge connecting two sides: "Law Enforcement & Safety" on the left (illustrated with a badge and patrol car) and "Education & Community" on the right (illustrated with a schoolhouse and students). A smiling police officer stands in the center of the bridge with open arms, representing the link between the two. Below the bridge, three circles highlight the key roles of an SRO: Safety & Security: Ensuring Safe Learning Environments. Mentorship & Guidance: Building Positive Relationships & Trust. Community Education: Acting as Guest Lecturers & Trusted Resources. The text at the bottom reads: "Thank you to our SROs for bridging the gap and protecting our future! 🛡️💙 #SROAppreciationDay #SchoolSafety #CommunityPolicing"
