Central A&M School District opened their doors to students for the 2025-26 academic year following “Back to School” night and their teacher luncheon. The District is still working towards completing projects and adding a “student mentorship” program. The new year sees plenty of new faces join their staff including four paraprofessionals, ten teachers, and two custodians. Central A&M High School and Gregory Intermediate also saw two principals hired before the Summer ended. Now the attention turns to a great school year start after their first full day on Wednesday, August 20th.

Sacha Young, Superintendent of the Central A&M School District, begins with the new crop of staff that have been brought in during the break. Young is excited to see “new opportunities” come from those just starting with the District.

Student mentorship is another item on the list that Young is striving to implement. Community members would have the opportunity to mentor a Central A&M student, providing them with a quality relationship, helping them learn and grow outside the classroom.

Central A&M High School falls within Richland Community College’s district, now the High School has worked to offer students resources available through the Heartland Tech Academy. Young says 8 students are currently enrolled in the program, exposing them to career paths after they graduate.

Sports sponsorships are also making there way to the Central A&M Schools. Young says any local business interested in supporting their athletics can do so again, with an added perk: advertising.
