EdFest, a Celebration of Education and Leadership, Returns!
Education Fest celebrates student thought leadership, honors those making impactful change for marginalized groups, and elevates the conversation about the future of education.
Path to College boldly prompts: How can business leaders prepare for the future, and how can local professionals get involved to ensure our community has the best education outcomes possible?
You are invited to celebrate local high school students who will passionately address pertinent issues and have a front-row seat to educational leaders' discourse surrounding what it takes to prepare students for tomorrow's learning challenges and innovations.
