Wiss Nation Celebrates Native American Heritage Month
Students will learn about the accomplishments of the people who are the original United States inhabitants, explorers, and settlers.
Check out What I Learned: Annual Report to the Community
We invite the community to explore our 2024-2025 Annual Report to the Community which spotlights students across the district sharing what they learned via quotes and videos.Through their own words, you’ll see how education isn’t just about memorizing facts—it’s about exploring new ideas, asking big questions, and finding inspiration in unexpected places.
