A message from our
Superintendent
Dear Students and Families of Atlanta Public Schools,
We are excited to welcome our students back for the 2025-2026 school year! We are grateful for your choice of Atlanta Public Schools, a place where we are educating and empowering Atlanta’s students to shape the future.
This year, we continue our work of strengthening our instructional core, caring for every student, and sparking student curiousity. As we embark on this new academic year, I sincerely hope you keep these words in mind from Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, former Atlanta Board of Education Chair and President of Morehouse. “It’s not failure, but aiming too low, that is life’s greatest tragedy.” We are Atlanta’s public school system, and you are destined for greatness.
Remember, your success is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Let us embrace the opportunities ahead with enthusiasm, curiosity and a commitment to excellence everywhere. Together, let’s make this school year one filled with growth, achievement, and cherished memories. Wishing you all the very best for a successful year ahead.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bryan Johnson Superintendent
