It’s official! The first day of school (grades 1-12) for the 2023-24 school year will be August 29.

Two Chief Joseph Middle School teachers are using food-focused activities to inspire students when it comes to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.

Elizabeth Crider and Callie Graff each received $1,000 from the Dream Builder’s Education Foundation as part of its STEM Like ME! classroom grant program. The program supports pioneering educators wanting to enact their best ideas for providing students with rich and robust learning experiences. 

Hanford High will be the home of the only U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) unit in the Tri-Cities when the 2023-24 school year begins in August.

School and district leaders along with community members have worked for nearly a decade to bring a JROTC program to the Richland School District. Designed to prepare students for a future as an Army officer, the program’s focus on leadership skills, character development and self-discipline are valuable for any student whether they pursue a military career or not.

Advaitha Motkuri has long been interested in science and wanted to help people. But it was a sixth-grade coding class that set her on the path to develop an award-winning app aimed at reducing drunk driving and saving lives.
