What an incredible start to the new school year at Youngstown City School District's Annual Staff Convocation on August 18! The energy was contagious with performances by Chaney and East cheerleaders and fantastic music from our very own staff band.
We were inspired by opening words by Board President Juanita Walker, and a powerful keynote address from Board of Education member, Joe Meranto, and proud to hear Chaney High School sophomore, Kimani Williams, share about our District's Portrait of a Graduate, the district's vision that outlines all scholars' pathways to a successful graduation and beyond .
Superintendent Batchelor also conveyed how over 200 scholars have the Y-STAR scholarship, which allows a YCSD graduate to attend Youngstown State University tuition-free! Together, we are ready to make this year one of growth, achievement, and celebration! Special thank you to YCSD alumnus, Omar Frazier, for taking photos!
