Let’s get ready for a great 2026–27 school year.
Dear Germantown Families and Community,
As we prepare for the start of another school year, I am excited to share our theme for the 2026–2027 school year:
UNITE
Over the past several weeks, I have had the opportunity to reconnect with Germantown while working alongside our staff and leadership team. As I've learned more about the district and reflected on my previous time here, one thing has become abundantly clear—Germantown's greatest strength has never been a program, a building, or a single individual. It has always been its people. As our district begins a new chapter, I believe it is important to honor the foundation that has made Germantown successful while continuing to build toward the future. This year's theme reflects that belief. This year's theme, UNITE, reflects the belief that we accomplish our best work when we come together with a shared purpose. Students, families, staff, board members, alumni, and community members all play an important role in creating an environment where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.
Throughout the year, our HOUSE Program will focus on five character traits that bring UNITE to life.
UNWAVERING: To be UNWAVERING is to remain steady, committed, and dependable, even when challenges arise. At Germantown, we believe that doing the right thing isn't always the easiest thing, but it is always worth it. We want our students to understand that perseverance, integrity, and staying true to their values help build confidence, strengthen character, and inspire others to keep moving forward.
NICE: Being NICE means treating every person with kindness, respect, and compassion. It is choosing patience, showing empathy, and recognizing that even the smallest acts of kindness help create a school where everyone feels valued and welcomed.
INCLUSIVE: To be INCLUSIVE is to make sure everyone feels they belong. Every student deserves to feel seen, heard, respected, and accepted. We celebrate the unique strengths each individual brings to our school and believe our community is stronger because of our differences.
TENACIOUS: Being TENACIOUS means persevering through challenges with determination and resilience. We encourage students to embrace hard work, learn from setbacks, and understand that growth often comes from continuing to move forward even when things become difficult.
EVOLVING: To be EVOLVING is to embrace growth. Every day brings new opportunities to learn, improve, and become better than we were yesterday. We want our students to remain curious, open-minded, and willing to grow both academically and personally.
Together, these five characteristics remind us that our greatest accomplishments happen when we work together. Through our HOUSE Program, students will continue building relationships across grade levels while learning that each person has an important role in making our school community stronger.
UNITEd: connected hearts, shared purpose
As we begin another school year, I look forward to working alongside all of you as we continue building on Germantown's tradition of excellence. Here's to a wonderful year as we UNITE for our students and for one another.
