A big THANK YOU to Tina Saddler and her youth group at Art Inc. She lead her group to create their own community service project. Her group decided they wanted to provide frequent encouragement and acknowledgment to students who were performing well academically at Lincoln.
1st graders helped 8th graders take a break from IAR testing and made slime with their buddy. We are always looks for fun activities.
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat has been recognized as one of the four finalists for the National Superintendent of the Year award by AASA. This prestigious accolade was presented to her during the AASA National Conference on Education in New Orleans on March 6th, 2025. Dr. Desmoulin-Kherat is quick to credit this achievement to the dedication and hard work of our administrators, teachers, and board of education members. Their collective efforts and commitment to overcoming the challenges faced by our school district have been instrumental in our progress.
While we celebrate this national recognition, we also extend our heartfelt congratulations to the award winner, Walter B. Gonsoulin, Jr. of Jefferson County Schools, Alabama. This award, co-presented by AASA, Corebridge Financial, and Sourcewell, highlights the exceptional contributions of superintendents nationwide.
We are proud to have Dr. Desmoulin-Kherat represent our district and share the innovative programs and strategies from PPS on the national stage.
