Starbuck's International Baccalaureate (IB) students made an impact this year with their capstone projects!
For the IB Primary Years Programme Exhibition, students showcased what they learned through inquiry, explored real-world issues that mattered to them, took meaningful action, and shared their learning with the community.
Through the IB Middle Years Programme Community Project, students identified a need in our community, planned and completed a meaningful project, worked independently, and reflected on the impact they made along the way.
Students, we're proud of the work you did to make our world a better place! 🌎🕊️ #YouBelongHere







Jace and Matteo connected with RTC Services at April's RUSD/Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce Youth Apprenticeship hiring event.
RTC Services is owned by Ryan Chadek, a Case graduate. As a first-time YA partner, Ryan and his team will provide employment and mentorship to Jace and Matteo as they utilize the training they have acquired through The Academies of Racine for home remodeling projects.
For more information on how to get involved in Youth Apprenticeship, contact regional coordinator Jen Muffick at jmuffick@racinechamber.com.

In addition to carpentry, Juan will work alongside electricians and plumbers with an opportunity to shadow other trades.

As reading scores in Wisconsin continue to decline, we have made noticeable gains at Racine Unified!
A renewed focus on early literacy has put our change in Reading Achievement on an upward trajectory for 3rd-8th-grade students since 2023. During that same time, the average of similar districts has fallen and leveled off.
