Racine Unified School District -

Today we honor the mentors, motivators and leaders who go beyond the playbook to shape character, build confidence and inspire excellence on and off the field.

To every coach who sparks belief and confidence within our students... THANK YOU!

THANK YOU to all the community organizations that shared their passion, knowledge and expertise with our 8th graders at this year's Impact Your Community Expo! Students learned how each organization makes a difference for the greater Racine community. #YouBelongHere

Today we celebrate the hard-working custodians who keep our schools clean, safe, and running smoothly. Your work often goes unseen, but it never goes unappreciated.

THANK YOU for your dedication, attention to detail and care you bring to every classroom at your school!
