Breakthrough South has been recognized, once again, as a Magnet School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools!
This is truly the work of our incredible staff, students, families & community partners working together to support and empower our student to thrive! At Breakthrough South, our mission is to cultivate a joyful, safe, and empowering learning community where every child is known, valued, and challenged to grow into a compassionate, resilient, and accomplished leader.
Principal Gustafson will be recognized and receive a Magnet School of Distinction Award on behalf of the school during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s National Conference in April.
To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme. To learn more about the national merit awards program, please visit www.magnet.edu
I think it is worth mentioning (and celebrating) that our awesome school continues to get recognized year after year and we are so proud!!!
