Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Legacy

Today, January 20, Peninsula School District joins our nation in commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s profound impact on our society and his enduring vision of equality, justice, and unity. As an educational institution, we're committed to fostering these values in our classrooms and community every day.

Dr. King's dedication to education as a path to opportunity resonates deeply with our mission. He once said “the function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

We encourage our Peninsula families to use this day of remembrance as an opportunity for learning, reflection, and service to others.
