Message from Superintendent Christopher M. Lowder Ed. D. Parents, Teachers and Students, As we prepare for the end of the school year, this is a time to reflect on all that we have accomplished. A few examples include breaking ground on new school sites for Mount Pleasant Middle School and Royal Oaks Elementary School, celebrating our Jay M. Robinson Bulldogs men’s basketball team state championship and opening two new schools next year: Odell Elementary School and Early College of Technology High School. Before we close the books on the 2015-2016 school year, we still have important work to do. I encourage you to stay focused for end-of-year testing. It has been a great year and I look forward to an even greater one in 2016-2017! Have a safe and happy summer. Sincerely, Chris Christopher M. Lowder Ed. D.
