Baltimore City Public Schools' Associated Student Congress of Baltimore City held its final general assembly of the 2024-25 school year, which included its first nominating convention. The new process activates when more than three candidates run for any ASCBC position — a sign of the group's growth and students’ increasing investment in districtwide leadership.

For Teacher Appreciation Week, Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises made surprise visits to teachers at three of our schools: Dr. Susana Ibay (Middle Alternative Program), Dr. Editha Bardaquillo (Baltimore Polytechnic Institute), and Monica Padgett (Eager Street Academy). We are grateful for the incredible work our teachers do across the district everyday to teach, support, and push our students toward success both in and out of the classroom.
