29 RPS students have received the Rockford University Education Pathway Scholarship!
This fall, they'll begin studying to become future educators-and when they finish, they'll return to Rockford Public Schools as certified teachers. They'll also have the opportunity to earn a free master's degree along the way! We're thrilled to support these students and can't wait to see them develop into outstanding educators. We look forward to welcoming them back to our district to help shape the future of Rockford!

Shoutout to our student chefs for bringing flavor and creativity to the table!

Next Monday: Join us for an evening of incredible student talent and beautiful music. Come support our amazing singers!
