Sunday Scoop - September 2025

Sunday Scoop - September 2025

Hello, 

September is a month of momentum and discovery. As our students settle into routines and explore new opportunities, I am energized by the creativity and curiosity in each of our schools.

This year, our focus remains on fostering growth in every corner of Cincinnati Public Schools. From innovative classroom projects to meaningful community partnerships, we are working together to ensure each student has the support, resources and encouragement they need to reach their fullest potential.

I am grateful for the dedication of our teachers, staff, families and community partners. Your commitment makes the difference in the lives of our students every day and I am excited to see the achievements this school year will bring.

Warm Regards,

Shauna Murphy
Superintendent
Cincinnati Public Schools
