Building on the Brilliance of Jasper ✨

Yesterday, our Content Specialists and Lead Teachers from every campus came together to prepare for a successful 2026-2027 school year.

Teams collaborated to finalize pacing guides, refine curriculum maps, and begin planning engaging lessons that will help every scholar succeed from day one. As Superintendent Dr. Laura Hickson shared in her welcome message, our goal is to "recognize, nurture, and build upon the brilliance that already exists within each child."

We're excited for the year ahead as we continue building on the brilliance of Jasper, together. πŸ’™πŸ’›

✈️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! πŸš€

Our Aviation STEM Camp scholars recently took their learning to new heights with a field trip to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport!

During their visit, students received a behind-the-scenes look at the many careers and operations that keep an airport running every day.

They explored:β€¨πŸ›« A live drone demonstrationβ€¨πŸ§³ How airport baggage handling systems workβ€¨πŸ’ General airport operationsβ€¨πŸ›‘οΈ Airport security procedures

Experiences like these help connect classroom learning to real-world careers while inspiring the next generation of innovators, engineers, pilots, and aviation professionals.

Thank you to the team at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport for providing our scholars with an unforgettable day of discovery and hands-on learning!
