Congratulations to Honor Charter School, A Marzano Academy, on breaking ground in Peyton, Colorado!

This milestone represents so much more than the start of a new building—it is the beginning of a place where students will learn, grow, and discover what they are capable of.

We’re grateful to partner with the Honor Charter Academy team, Waltz Construction, Grace Architecture, and School District 49 as they bring this vision to life, and to celebrate a future rooted in honor, character, and excellence for generations of students to come.

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the extraordinary courage of those who stepped forward to help others.

May we also remember what followed: people coming together, serving one another, and finding strength in unity during an unimaginable time.

May we carry those lessons of courage, compassion, service, and unity forward in how we show up for one another every day. 🇺🇸

One conversation can change the direction of a project.

Over the past few days, we had the opportunity to reconnect with longtime partners, meet new school leaders, and hear firsthand about the exciting work happening across North Carolina.

Thank you to everyone who shared a few minutes with us. Those conversations are the foundation of lasting partnerships, and we're excited to see where they lead.

Until next time, Raleigh.

Every project starts with a conversation—not a blueprint.

That's why we value conferences like this one. They give us the opportunity to listen, ask questions, and better understand the goals schools are working toward.

We're excited to be in Raleigh and hope we'll have the opportunity to meet many of you along the way.

One conversation can change the direction of a project.

Over the years, some of our best ideas and strongest partnerships have started with a simple conversation at a conference.

That's what we're looking forward to at the North Carolina Charter School Conference: listening, learning, and talking with school leaders about what's ahead for their communities.

If you see us in Raleigh, we'd love to visit.

NCSC26 is a wrap.

Great conversations. New ideas. Familiar faces. A few new friends.

Thanks to everyone who took a few minutes to connect. We appreciate the time, the insights, and the opportunity to continue the conversation.
