Thank you, Congressman Ryan for supporting our efforts to see Charlie Johnson appropriately recognized for his heroic efforts during the Korean War. This was a decades-long effort that so many were a part of--a truly great celebration of Charlie, his family, and our students!
In January, after years of pushing, I was proud to be at the White House as PFC Charles Johnson was finally awarded the Medal of Honor he earned in Korea. This week, I joined his family & @ArlingtonCSD to honor his extraordinary life & rename the Millbrook VFW in his memory.

A great win for our Boys Basketball team against a tough opponent! @AHSAdmiral_Al

A great sendoff for our Girls Soccer Team this morning at Arlington High School. Thanks to the administration for coordinating and to the students, faculty and staff who were able to attend! My wife baked "championship" cookies last night to present to the team.
And they’re off! Good luck to our incredible girls soccer team at the state championship! ❤️⚓️⚽️💛

Watching three of our @AHSAdmiral_Al teams compete this weekend reinforced for me that playing in front of your family, friends, teachers, and representing your school is one of the best experiences our kids will have in high school.

A degree on a wall means you’re educated as much as shoes on your feet mean you’re walking. It’s a start, but hardly sufficient.

"Negative experience without teaching kills morale."
Gold from Saban. Leadership 101. Transformational > Transactional. In my opinion, in this NIL era, it matters more than ever.

Dr. Rosselli and her Titusville team connect the recent Profile of a Graduate work to the history and culture of Mesoamericans. Great work!
Grade level meetings kicked off with learning about adaptable citizens. Students heard from a community member about Mesoamericans adapting to survive. They then broke off into restorative circles sharing what they believe being an adaptable citizen looks like in our community.
