Join us as we celebrate School Board Appreciation Month in February

School Board 2025

February is the month when we observe School Board Appreciation Month, an excellent opportunity to recognize the work of school board members and celebrate public education. The board at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School advocates for public schools by ensuring our students have access to a high-quality education. Their decisions and actions significantly impact the present and future lives of our community’s children. Join us in celebrating School Board Appreciation Month at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School.


Too often we neglect to recognize the dedication and hard work of these men and women who represent us. We invite you to celebrate the work of the school board by sharing your comments here.  Remarks will be shared with the board at their February 20th meeting. 

The board of the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School consists of an elected representative from each participating division.
