    Dr. Millicent BorishadeDear Saint Louis Public Schools Community,

    I am honored and excited to serve as your Interim Superintendent, continuing the great work of ensuring that each and every student in our district thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. Saint Louis Public Schools is a cornerstone of our community—a place where futures are built, dreams are nurtured, and children grow into empowered, capable young people ready to take on the world.

    I’ve dedicated my career to advancing educational opportunities that meet the unique and diverse needs of our students. In St. Louis, this means understanding the complexities of our community and ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to opportunities that prepare them for college, career, and life. This includes not just removing barriers but also celebrating the strengths and potential of our students, families, and neighborhoods.

    As we continue on this journey together, I want you to know that I do a lot of listening and learning. Serving as the lead learner in our district, I know that the best solutions come when we work collaboratively. I believe in the power of strong partnerships—with parents, teachers, community members, and students themselves—to create the schools our children deserve. Together, we can overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of opportunity and build an environment where every child can flourish.

    We have exciting work ahead, from strengthening our academic programs and supporting student well-being to ensuring that our schools remain safe, inclusive spaces for all. With that, we will continue to focus on developing critical thinkers, communicators, collaborators, and culturally aware change agents who are ready for college, career, and life—that’s what St. Louis is all about.

    Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a part of this incredible community. I look forward to the meaningful work we will accomplish together.
