As 2025 nears its close, I am filled with gratitude for the creativity, dedication, and strong sense of community that defines Upper Dublin schools. This year, our students have continued to thrive, showing growth in academics, the arts, and extracurricular pursuits, and with guidance from our dedicated team, they have embraced opportunities to challenge themselves and explore new interests.
Our professional development work has engaged Upper Dublin educators in meaningful learning that strengthens instruction, fosters collaboration, and supports every student’s growth. We have also expanded ways to connect with families—from our new podcast to our Cardinal Conversations programs, we continue to seek ways for parents to stay informed and engaged in their child’s learning journey.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the work shaping the future of our district, including the development of our Portrait of a Graduate, the launch of an AI Think Tank, and the upcoming construction project at Jarrettown Elementary. Reflecting on a year of accomplishments, innovation, and resilience, I am proud of the progress our district has made and the collective efforts of our students, staff, and families.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. May this holiday season bring rest, joy, and meaningful time with loved ones, and may the new year be filled with growth, inspiration, and shared success.
Happy Holidays!
Dr. Laurie Smith
