Congrats to Center District Behavior Coach, Renee Black for being selected to present at the National PBIS Leadership Forum. 1,750 attendees from 49 states!
Congratulations to Erick Boone, CHS Class of 2014 on his appointment as a US diplomat at the US Embassy in Bejing, China. In Erick's own words -
"Last week, a dream came true – I officially became a U.S. diplomat.
And as Secretary of State Antony Blinken led my cohort in taking the Oath of Office, I thought about what that moment meant.
Of course for me, it represented the culmination of a long journey that had been filled with adversity and uncertainty. It also represented the start of a new adventure into the world of diplomacy.
And yet, it stood as something more.
My cohort, in all of our diversity, symbolize a slow but steady march towards ensuring that those who have been called to represent our country are, in fact, representative of our country. That the foreign audiences we work with will get a more accurate picture of what it means to “look American.” And that a Black boy from Kansas City who became the first person in his family to attend college can speak for our nation overseas.
So as I prepare for my first diplomatic assignment at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, I carry the words of Langston Hughes with me:
“I, too, am America.”

October’s Hive Society CSD Employee of the Month exemplifies our core value of safe and respectful schools.
October’s nominee helps make Center School District a place where students and staff are free to be themselves and further discover who they actually are. This person helps everyone around them feel safe not only physically but also emotionally. This is someone who is respectful of everyone – no matter the circumstance.
Hive Society is proud to present this award to Mr. Tyvell Kelly, Custodian at Indian Creek. Congratulations, Mr. Kelly!
Mr. Kelly's IC colleagues had the following to say about him:
"Mr. Kelley has been pivotal this year at Indian Creek. I see him at school at all hours of the day. He's been there at 6pm when I leave and is smiling at 7am, when I walk in. He is always willing to help teachers and students even though I know he has a lot on the to do list. I feel he has done a lot for our building, including giving staff motivational notes when needed. He also has great relationships with the students and is always helping when needed."
This past Wednesday, Center High School students in our Grow Your Own Teacher Academy visited the UMKC School of Education. They were able to hear about the School of Education, fill out the FAFSA, apply to UMKC, and complete a scavenger hunt throughout campus (Campus Tour).
The Center School District Board of Education will hold a regular monthly meeting on Monday, October 24th at 7:00pm at Indian Creek Elementary School (9801 Grand).
