🎓 Savage Shout-Out to Our First-Ever Master’s Cohort! 🎓 Last week marked an exciting milestone for Savannah R-III as our very first Master’s Cohort met together for the first time.

This group is part of a district-led, two-year master’s program designed to deepen instructional expertise and strengthen leadership across our schools. At its heart, this program is about choosing to invest in our educators in a way that creates lasting impact for students—both now and in the years ahead.

This initiative was spearheaded by Superintendent Dr. Hansen and reflects a commitment to learning that stays rooted in what matters most: our classrooms, our students, and our community.

What makes this program especially meaningful is how it’s delivered. Courses are taught by administrators from within our district, allowing participants to learn from leaders who know our schools, our students, and our community. That shared understanding helps ensure learning is practical, relevant, and immediately useful.

We’re proud of this inaugural group for stepping into two years of learning, collaboration, and growth.

Strong educators = Strong schools = Strong futures for our students. 💛 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family

🇺🇸 Savannah High School JROTC is off to a strong start!

Earlier this month, seven Savannah High School Army JROTC cadets volunteered their Saturday morning serving breakfast at the local American Legion. While there, they had the opportunity to visit with local veterans and Representative Dean Van Schoiack—a meaningful experience rooted in service and respect.

With 45 active cadets already enrolled, the program continues to grow and gain strong support from both the school and the community. Cadets have also been busy presenting the colors at athletic contests and community events, proudly representing Savannah R3 wherever they serve. We’re proud of the leadership, citizenship, and service already shining through this new program. 💛🖤 #WeAreSR3 #SR3Family #SR3JROTC

As we wrap up the week and head into winter break, here’s a small idea that can make a big impact. 💛

If your child is writing a letter to Santa, consider having them write a quick thank-you note to their teacher, too. A few handwritten words of appreciation can mean more than any gift and will likely be tucked away long after the holidays are over.

Our teachers pour so much into their students every day—this is a simple way to help them feel seen and appreciated. #SR3Family #WeAreSR3
