To Our CICS Community,
As I reach my first 100 days as CEO of 海角官方首页, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I鈥檝e received from our community. It has been nearly a decade since I last led CICS, and while many things have changed during that time, one thing has remained constant: the incredible and unwavering commitment of you - our school leaders, teachers, staff, and families - to CICS scholars. It has been a privilege to meet so many of you, to hear your stories, and to witness firsthand the strength, resilience, and diversity that make our CICS family so special.
