🎤 Magnet history at @CreekMagnet! Our inaugural Magnet Student Roundtable put student voices center stage! 💙 Students shared how hands-on learning, industry-aligned experiences & real-world opportunities are shaping their futures, providing valuable insights to help us strengthen our magnet programs. #InnovateBroward #StudentVoice @valene_kalloo @Gurreonero_MG

Some of the best opportunities for growth and innovation happen when we look beyond our own walls and learn from one another! Our @BrowardSchools team recently visited two exceptional Palm Beach County schools: Plumosa School of the Arts and Dreyfoos School of the Arts. These visits reinforced an important belief: Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation! There is tremendous value in exchanging ideas, sharing best practices, and learning across district boundaries. A huge thank you to Principals Rhonda Smith and Blake Bennett and their incredible teams for their hospitality and commitment to excellence in arts education! Different districts. Shared purpose. Endless possibilities. 🎭🎨 #InnovateBroward #MagnetSchools #ArtsEducation @Dillard_HS @pmsotamagnet @officialPlumosa @DreyfoosSOA @Ronda_Johnson

What an incredible experience in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸 Honored to represent @browardschools as a panelist at the 2026 Magnet Schools of America Policy Training Conference at the U.S. Capitol! From important conversations on declining enrollment and school choice to engaging discussions on AI, innovation, and education policy, the conference provided valuable perspectives on the future of public education. Proud to share Broward’s innovative work, connect with education leaders from across the nation, and explore new ideas for expanding opportunities for students. Grateful to Magnet Schools of America for an exceptional experience and to my amazing team for sharing in it! #InnovateBroward #MagnetSchoolsOfAmerica #EducationalLeadership @MagnetSchlsMSA
