Today marks Chancellor Lewis D. Ferebee’s official last day at DC Public Schools (DCPS). During his tenure, DCPS achieved record results, with more students graduating on time, earning college credit and industry credentials, and succeeding in AP coursework. Under his steadfast leadership following the pandemic, DCPS is recognized as a national leader in academic recovery in both reading and math. 💫

"I make it a point every year to remind our graduates that they will forever be part of the DCPS family, and I carry that truth with me as I depart. This enduring sense of belonging—across school communities and generations—connects us all.

Thank you for the trust, the partnership, and the belief in our young people. It has been an honor, DCPS." -Dr. Lewis D. Ferebee

On behalf of the entire DCPS family, we sincerely thank Chancellor Ferebee for his vision, dedication, and unwavering focus on student success. Wishing him all the best in his next chapter as the CEO of EdReports.org 💙
