Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
This week is a special opportunity to pause and recognize the heart and soul of our district. We are beyond grateful to have a staff full of dedicated individuals who don’t just "do their jobs" - they go above and beyond every single day to pour into the lives of our students.
In addition to celebrating the work happening right now, we recently took a moment in April to honor those who have dedicated years of their lives to the St. Louis Public Schools family. Reaching these milestones is a testament to their passion and persistence.

This week's Alumni Spotlight features Molly Janasik, Class of 2014! Go Sharks!

Is it ever too early to start dreaming big? Our TSN 7th graders don’t think so!
Our students traded the traditional classroom for a hands-on look at the future during an inspiring tour of the Mt. Pleasant Area Technical Center. From high-tech labs to creative workshops, they explored a world of career possibilities that goes way beyond the four walls of a school.
This trip wasn’t just about seeing cool equipment—it was about strategic planning. By exploring these paths now, our students started discovering their passions and seeing first-hand what a day in the life of their future career looks like.
Today’s experience connected prior career exploration activities with real-world experiences, helping students see how their interests align with upcoming high school courses and long-term goals. They truly saw how their "future self" starts with the choices they make today.
Whether they’re interested in engineering, healthcare, trade skills, culinary arts, or digital arts, today was the first step in building a high school path designed for success.
The best way to predict the future is to create it. Our students are doing exactly that! Go Sharks!
