Today, we celebrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education across our district. From hands-on lab experiments to robotics programs, our students are gaining the skills needed to innovate, solve real-world problems, and lead the future.
A huge thank you to our dedicated STEM educators, school teams, and community partners who spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders every single day!
On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, all senior students at G. W. Carver High School will participate in the ACT WorkKeys Assessment. All 12th grade students are expected to arrive at school at the regular school start time and be present for testing.
It is imperative that we achieve 100% participation from our senior class. The WorkKeys Assessment is a critical measure of our students' readiness for college and career opportunities. Our participation rate directly reflects our school's commitment to ensuring that every senior demonstrates proficiency and earns recognition as being College and Career Ready.
We ask parents and guardians to help support this effort by ensuring that students arrive on time, are well-rested, and come prepared to do their very best. Every student's participation matters and contributes to the overall success of our graduating class and school community.
Please note that all other grade levels will follow an Asynchronous Learning Day schedule on November 4, 2026. Only 12th grade students are required to report to campus for testing.
Together, we can achieve our goal of 100% participation and showcase the excellence of our senior class.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in the success of our students.
Sincerely,
Mr. Gary Hall
Principal
G. W. Carver High School

Dear MPS Families and Staff,
Following a thorough evaluation of campus staffing coverage, all Montgomery Public Schools and administrative offices will be CLOSED tomorrow, Friday, October 9.
This operational decision was made to prioritize students' safety and supervision throughout the district. We are facing a high volume of employee leave requests, anticipated regional effects from Hurricane Isaias, a declared State of Emergency in Montgomery County, and the rescheduling of Alabama State University's annual Homecoming. These factors prevent us from maintaining adequate operational coverage across the district.
All campus buildings and administrative facilities will remain closed, and there will be no in-person or remote instruction tomorrow. All MPS campuses will reopen for normal operations on Tuesday, October 13, following the scheduled federal holiday.
Guidance regarding Friday evening athletics will be communicated directly by school leadership.
We deeply appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we work to ensure a safe environment for our scholars and staff.
Sincerely,
Montgomery Public Schools Leadership
We are currently seeing a significant increase in employee leave requests across teachers, support staff, bus drivers, and other personnel. Our substitute staffing vendor is experiencing a high volume of requests and limited coverage. Adequate staffing is critical to maintaining a safe, secure, and productive learning environment for our scholars. District leadership is actively evaluating staffing coverage across all campuses.
We will continue assessing our operational needs and will provide families and staff with an official update no later than 12:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 8, regarding any adjustments to school schedules or operations.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support of Montgomery Public Schools.
Our coaches do far more than teach the fundamentals of sports—they build character, instill discipline, foster teamwork, and inspire our student-athletes to strive for excellence both on the field and in the classroom.
Thank you to all of our MPS coaches for your tireless dedication, late hours, and endless belief in our students!
Today and every day, we celebrate the passion, dedication, and heart our teachers bring into the classroom. You inspire minds, ignite curiosity, and shape the future of our community one student at a time.
Help us celebrate our educators! Tag your favorite MPS teacher in the comments below and tell them how much they mean to you!
Every single day, our custodial team works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our classrooms, hallways, and campuses clean, safe, and welcoming for our students and staff. They are the heartbeat of our school facilities!
We encourage our MPS Family to appreciate our custodians every day!
Throughout the month of October (October 1–31), Montgomery Public Schools stands in solidarity with fighters, honors courageous survivors, and remembers those we’ve lost.
We encourage our entire MPS family to spread awareness and support early detection education. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer! ✨
