Of course the big news this week in Mount Pleasant is the passage of our field bond referendum by a 3-1 margin. The success of this bond and the complete renovation of the existing athletic complex will be transformative for the schools and the entire community. (Click the image below to read more...)

It is often said that the best journeys lead you home. It is with pride and excitement that today, we officially launch the 2021-2022 academic year in Mt. Pleasant. Schools are busy places during the summer. We take time to reflect upon what was while preparing for what will be. It is an exciting time where these opportunities for deeper reflection inform our work and propel us forward. Last year, schools and families worked together to provide our students with exciting opportunities to learn within very difficult circumstances. The pandemic has tested all of us in new ways and we are ever more ready to face the challenges before us. Teaching and learning is strong in Mt. Pleasant and we are excited to forge new paths forward in light of our new learning. As is typical in any year, the upcoming year will surely bring new challenges, but I am confident that the opportunities and rewards will be even greater. Guided by our mission to “Educate All Children for Their Future,” over these next two months, our work will be focused on preparing both our physical spaces as well as the core instructional program for our students. On September 1, 2021, our schools will come alive again in new and exciting ways. Until then, on behalf of the Board of Education and Administration, please be sure to take advantage of time with family, friends, and loved ones, read great books, enjoy the beach and/or time away. I hope that this time is restorative for all of you and I look forward to seeing everyone over the summer and into the fall.
Dr. Peter Giarrizzo
Superintendent of Schools
