This week, our students are focusing on Art and Music as part of our Black History Month celebration.
At Edison Elementary School, fifth graders in Ms. Jacobson’s class explored the achievements of past and present Grammy Award–winning African American artists. Students researched influential musicians, discovered fun and inspiring facts about their lives and accomplishments, and created posters to showcase what they learned.
This is just one example of the meaningful learning happening throughout our school during Black History Month. Be sure to check back on our website (eriesd.org/blackhistory) for more updates as more schools share what they're doing this week.
💜💛Last Friday, we also celebrated our Erie High Cheerleader Seniors!
These young ladies brought energy, spirit, and positivity to every game. Through practices, performances, and the continued support of our teams, they have proudly represented our district.
Thank you for your dedication, enthusiasm, and school spirit. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

“We Are More Than the Narrative: Layers, Lines, and Voices” was unveiled at Collegiate Academy on Thursday and ... WOW. The 8-foot by 20-foot mural showcases everything that makes our district great: creativity, collaboration and pride. Most importantly it challenges outdated and inaccurate narratives that persist by highlighting the many innovative, positive successes and celebrations happening in our schools every single day - and THAT is how you build excellence together. Thank you to our partners at Penn State Behrend for the financial support that helped make this possible and, of course, to our tremendous student artists whose work is brought together in this stunning piece!
