Today, we celebrate an East Central Indiana legend, Marvin Kuhn, our dedicated planetarium presenter!

He continues to bring immersive planetarium experiences directly to our schools today.

Today, we join our schools and communities in commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
As educators, we carry an important responsibility to help students understand the events that have shaped our nation, while ensuring the lessons of courage, service, compassion, and unity continue to be passed from one generation to the next.
We remember those whose lives were lost, honor the heroes who responded, and recognize all who continue to serve and strengthen our communities.

We’re excited and grateful to see our partnership with Eastern Indiana Works highlighted in a new AIR case study that examines the important role intermediaries play in expanding work-based learning across Indiana.
As Indiana’s new high school diploma increases the role of work-based learning, strong partnerships among schools, employers, and regional organizations will be essential. We’re proud to work alongside EIW to help connect those pieces and create meaningful career-connected opportunities for students throughout our region.
