Good Afternoon Second Hill Lane Families,

Spotlight on Excellence: Stratford Public Schools Featured in Business View Magazine
We are thrilled to announce that Stratford Public Schools has been featured in the August 2026 issue of Business View Magazine, a leading publication highlighting excellence in municipal and civil leadership. In this prominent feature, our district is officially recognized and celebrated as the "Best Managed School District." This incredible honor reflects the tireless dedication of our administration, Board of Education, educators, and staff who work collaboratively to ensure operational excellence, fiscal responsibility, and the highest quality of education for our students. The article provides an in-depth look at the strategic initiatives, transparent budget management, and community-driven focus that have set Stratford apart as a national model for educational leadership.
Beyond celebrating our administrative success, the Business View feature also shines a light on the innovative academic programs and ongoing facility improvements that make our district truly exceptional—such as our recent selection to represent Connecticut in the national "Day of AI." From effectively managing capital improvements across our campuses to fostering forward-thinking learning opportunities, the article showcases how Stratford balances robust educational goals with efficient resource management. We invite all parents, students, and community members to read the full feature via the link below to learn more about how Stratford Public Schools continues to pave the way for student success.
