Women's History Month 2025: Moving Forward Together

Each March, we celebrate Women's History Month, honoring the achievements and impact of women throughout history. This year's theme is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations," which highlights the role of women as educators, mentors, and changemakers who have shaped the past and continue to guide the future.

Honoring Women's Impact in Education & Beyond

Women have played a crucial role in educating and inspiring future generations. Whether in classrooms, research labs, community leadership, or advocacy, their influence extends beyond textbooks. This month, we can reflect on their contributions while ensuring that the next generation has access to knowledge, opportunity, and equity.

Education is one of the most powerful tools for progress, and students, parents, and teachers can all participate in learning and sharing the stories that continue to shape history.
