Superintendent Michael Byrd shared his pride in this districtwide achievement:

The fact that multiple Cabot schools were recognized across both statewide and regional categories speaks volumes about the consistent excellence taking place across our district.”

Thank you for leading with purpose, fostering high expectations, and creating schools where students grow academically and personally. "
