The Windsor Central School District is hosting 45 school districts on Wednesday and Thursday for the inaugural Future-Ready Knights Showcase.

The event highlights Windsor’s use of Professional Learning Community practices to improve student outcomes, including developing ten future-ready pathways to make students college- and career-ready.

When Windsor began its work as a Professional Learning Community over 18 years ago, it ranked 13th out of 15 among districts in its region, when considering overall elementary and high school testing rates. WCHS also had a 78 percent four-year graduation rate at the time.

Now, Windsor consistently ranks in the top three in those metrics, and WCHS has a four-year graduation rate of 94.6%. The WCHS curriculum also now features 45 Advanced Placement, Honors, and college-level courses, and U.S. News and World Report has ranked Windsor Central Middle School the top middle school in Broome County two years in a row.

“It’s really a great opportunity for our staff, our teachers, administrators, and our students to be able to showcase and celebrate the amazing programs that they’ve built and share the all the things they’ve been able to achieve, not just across the region, but across the state and beyond,” said Windsor CSD superintendent Dr. Jason A. Andrews.

“It’s a great opportunity for our educators in the community to be able to come together and collaborate, and see best practices, and also to see all the great things they’re doing in the school district,” said Dr. Corey Green, superintendent of the Owego-Apalachin School District.

The Future-Ready Knights Showcase has also raised $35,000 for the Black Knight Scholarship Fund.
