You’ve seen the surprise - now hear from Jason, SACS Teacher of the Year, and students he has impacted! WANE 15

Many of these students have had him as a band director since middle school, and when they graduated to high school, so did Witzigreuter.

Today, SACS proudly announced — and surprised — the 2026 SACS Teacher of the Year! 🍎✨

Chosen from an incredible group of educators across the district, this year’s honoree represents the very best of SACS: passion, dedication, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to students each and every day. And the winner is?!?!?

Where it all started… and where they are today. ❤️🎓

Today, our soon-to-be graduates returned to the elementary schools that first helped shape their journey- walking the same hallways, visiting former teachers, and inspiring the next generation of students who dream of one day wearing that cap and gown themselves.

Not sure who had more fun — the graduates reliving memories and seeing familiar faces, or the elementary staff and students welcoming them back home. The smiles, hugs, cheers, and proud moments reminded us all just how special SACS truly is.

Before they graduate high school, we asked several Class of 2026 Spartans to look back and share some wisdom they’ve learned along the way. 💙🎓

What advice would you give your younger self?
What would you tell younger students?

From lessons learned to words of encouragement, their sentiments may inspire you!

🎨✨ Student creativity was on full display at the May 7 SACS Board Meeting!

We were proud to recognize talented student artists from across our schools whose artwork was selected to represent the incredible imagination, creativity, and artistic skill found throughout SACS. From elementary through high school, each piece tells a unique story and reflects the voice and vision of the student behind it.

These beautiful works, thoughtfully selected by our art teachers and framed by our school PTCs, will now be proudly displayed throughout the administrative building during the next school year.

Congratulations to our student artists, and thank you to our teachers and families for encouraging creativity and artistic expression every day! 🎨👏
