Our May CELL professional development was led by Rachel Johnson from PiXL, the UK's largest education leadership network.

Rachel shared powerful insights on mattering, its impact in the workplace, and why creating environments where students and educators feel valued and seen is so important in education.

Please join us in congratulating St. Michael Catholic School for being selected as a Celebrate Your School Award Top 25 honoree!

At St. Michael, a literacy initiative has grown into a stronger, more connected teaching community. By embracing the science of reading and using data to guide and support instruction, teachers have built a more intentional and collaborative approach across grade levels. Through ongoing coaching, shared learning, and a commitment to continuous growth, the staff has become more aligned and confident in helping every student succeed as a reader.

CELL’s Celebrate Your School Awards provide monetary gifts to schools as part of our 25th anniversary in 2026, recognizing excellence and celebrating the educators who make our work possible. St. Michael was selected out of almost 100 submissions and plans to use the funds to provide continued literacy professional development for their teachers.

Congratulations on this accomplishment!
