šāļø LIVING THE LOGO AT STEEL CITY! OCTOBER EDITION! šāļø
At Steel City, we believe THE LOGO IS BIGGER THAN THE EGO! And every month, we celebrate the incredible team members who bring that commitment to LIFE through their actions, leadership, and dedication to our students and mission!
A dynasty isn't built by one extraordinary person. It's built by a TEAM making extraordinary commitments to one another, showing up with purpose, and choosing to go above and beyond every single day.
š Help us celebrate our OCTOBER Living the Logo Award winners!
š Mrs. Combs | WE GET BETTER EVERY DAY
Mrs. Combs is proof that growth comes from embracing feedback, pushing through setbacks, and NEVER giving up! From participating in the Science Leadership Initiative at Griffin MSI to investing in her leadership development through the Accelerate Institute, she is constantly working to get better. And after THREE grant rejections, she came back stronger, helped improve our STEM Integration Grant application, and this year, WE GOT THE YES! THAT is grit, growth, and getting better every day! š
š Ms. Larkins | WE BUILD COMMUNITY
Some of the most meaningful school experiences happen beyond the classroom! Ms. Larkins partnered with Ms. Wallace to plan and bring our annual County Line Orchard field trip to life, continuing a beloved Steel City tradition. Thanks to her intentionality, our students had the opportunity to experience JOY, strengthen relationships, and create core memories with their families and classmates. THIS is how we build community! š
š Ms. Wallace | WE OWN OUR ROLE
Ms. Wallace has taken the student experience to another LEVEL! Her intentional planning, attention to detail, and proactive approach are helping create a school culture filled with JOY and meaningful experiences. From planning holiday celebrations well in advance to collaborating across teams to make every event a success, she isn't just fulfilling her role. She's raising the bar for what's possible for our kids! š
š Ms. Stewart | WE OWN OUR ROLE
Ms. Stewart has stepped IN and stepped UP as our College and Career Counselor! With creativity, purpose, and incredible intentionality, she is already transforming the opportunities and resources available to our students. From thoughtful, beautifully designed materials to bringing solutions and fresh ideas to the table, she is ensuring our Flames have the knowledge, access, and support to build extraordinary futures. Small school, BIG opportunities! š

š Recently, we were thrilled to welcome the admissions team from Indiana University Northwest (IUN) to Steel City! Our seniors had the opportunity to learn more about the college experience, explore programs and opportunities, and ask questions about their next steps after graduation! š
But we didn't stop with our seniors! We also introduced our underclassmen to all that IUN has to offer because we believe it's never too early to start exploring your future! šāØ
A HUGE thank you to the IUN admissions team for investing their time in our scholars and helping us bring these opportunities directly to our students!
Knowledge is POWER. Exposure creates OPPORTUNITY. And every Steel City student deserves BOTH! š„ š
