We are incredibly proud to celebrate another one of our outstanding students! Not only was Asheen Udgiri nominated for the CLASS Act Emerging Leader for March, but she is also the winner for this month!
Please join us in congratulating Asheen Udgiri, a student at Collegiate Academy, who has been selected as the recipient of this month’s $1,200 Emerging Leader Award Scholarship! 🌟 As if that weren’t exciting enough, Asheen is now automatically considered for an additional $5,500 scholarship to be awarded at the end of the school year.
Asheen is highly engaged in her school community and truly embodies the values of the C.L.A.S.S. Act:
C – Character
L – Leadership
A – Attitude
S – Service
S – Selflessness, Striving for Excellence, Self-Awareness, and Self-Reliance
We could not be prouder to recognize Asheen for her dedication, leadership, and commitment to excellence. We can’t wait to see all that she will continue to accomplish! 👏🎓 #EPSProud





💡Students from East Middle, Eagle's Nest School of Academic Distinction, Strong Vincent Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson Middle School came together to think like entrepreneurs, identifying real-world problems and developing creative, thoughtful solutions. A handful of students confidently presented their ideas to the full audience, and later, everyone had the opportunity to walk around and explore the many innovative projects on display.
Their creativity, teamwork, and determination were inspiring. Even more impressive were student reflections on gaining confidence and learning perseverance through the experience.
We couldn’t be prouder of everything they’ve accomplished. The future is bright! 🌟
Also, thank you to all the staff, community, and families who made this event a huge success for our students.










We hope your celebrations are filled with lots of joy and love.

We wish our students, staff, and families a fun and lucky day filled with smiles!

Thank you to all the courageous students who led with their voices, offering thoughtful, candid, and very necessary feedback. We're #BuildingExcellenceTogether!
