There was an actual flame involved on May 12 when the High Five regional partnership passed the torch to continue its work fostering Professional Learning Communities in the Wake County Public School System and the four other area school districts in the partnership.
At a reception of educators, business representatives, parents, and leaders from Wake, Durham, Orange, Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Johnston school systems, participants viewed a video of the five-year highlights of High Five's work.
The High Five sponsors who made the five year effort possible were thanked. Vann Langston, High Five Executive Director, was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the most prestigious honor awarded to North Carolinians.
Dr. Bill Harrison, CEO of Public Instruction and Chairman of the State Board of Education, was the keynote speaker for the evening.
High Five's work will continue with the Superintendents of Orange, Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Wake, Durham, and Johnston school systems serving as the new Board of Directors.
You can see photos of the evening and find more information on High Five here.
