With school back in session, we’re looking back at an incredible July Lunch Roulette with Dr. Josue Borrego, Superintendent of Canutillo ISD ! 🍎

Dr. Borrego shared his leadership journey with our Progressors—from his roots in Piedras Negras, Mexico, to leading CISD with a core focus on teaching kindness across every school.

His leadership philosophy says it best:
✨ Public education must be a doorway, not a gatekeeper.

✨ Schools flourish when culture flourishes and students feel safe & valued.

✨ Families are essential partners in student success.

Thank you, Dr. Borrego, for your dedicated service and leadership in our community! 👏
