In honor of Women’s History Month, here is a fun fact: Case CLC is named in honor of Anne T. Case (1880-1966), the first woman president of the Akron Board of Education. She became a member of the Akron Board of Education in 1934 and served for 24 years. Can you name other Akron Public Schools named in honor a woman?

Our Akron Promise founders attended the State of the Schools address this past Tuesday. Akron Public Schools may have their challenges, as does any suburban school district, but WOWWWW the successes are AMAZING!
