Welcome Back, YESPhilly Staff! ❤️🖤

Welcome back to another exciting school year!

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I want to thank each of you for the dedication, passion, and commitment you bring to YESPhilly and, most importantly, to our students.

This year is a fresh opportunity to reconnect, refocus, and continue building opportunities for our young people. Every role in our school matters, and together we create the supportive, engaging environment our students need to succeed.

I’m excited about what we will accomplish as a team this year. Let’s support one another, celebrate our successes, work through the challenges together, and make this an amazing year for our students and our entire YESPhilly community.

Welcome back, team! Let’s have a great year! ❤️🖤
