Our district-wide campaign to Educate, Elevate, Empower with Literacy focuses on building strong reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills across all grade levels and subject areas.

We believe literacy isn’t just about books—it’s about preparing students to confidently communicate, solve problems, and succeed in school and in life. Through targeted instruction, community partnerships, and engaging literacy-rich activities, we’re creating opportunities for every Bobcat to thrive.

From our youngest learners in Pre-K to our graduating seniors, we’re committed to a culture where literacy is everywhere—because when we strengthen literacy, we strengthen futures.
