Dear Imagine School at Broward Family,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! It is an exciting time to be part of Imagine School at Broward. Our school community is not simply growing—we are thriving. We are thrilled to have been named Imagine School’s National School of the Year!!!!!
Our success is built on a strong partnership among our students, families, educators, and community. Together, we have created a school where academic excellence, character, shared values, responsible stewardship, and meaningful relationships come together to help every child succeed.
As we begin this new school year, I am incredibly proud of the recognition our school has received. Imagine Broward is a Cognia-accredited school with distinction, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement and high standards for teaching and learning. We have also earned Green Shield recognition and have been recognized for Promising Practices from the Positivity Project. Our achievements in Character Development, Shared Values, and Economic Sustainability further demonstrate the strength and balance of our school community.
These recognitions are important, but what makes me most proud is what they represent: dedicated teachers and staff, students who are challenged and supported, families who believe in our mission, and a community committed to doing what is best for children.
At Imagine Broward, we understand that families have choices when it comes to their children’s education. We are honored that you choose us. That trust is something we work to earn every day by providing a safe, nurturing, academically challenging environment where children are known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Our commitment extends beyond academic achievement. We believe education should develop the whole child. Through our S.O.A.R. values, we continue to build the character and habits that will serve our students throughout their lives:
Self-Control – Intellectual Value
We empower students to approach learning with curiosity, focus, and confidence while developing the discipline necessary to make thoughtful choices and achieve their goals.
Optimism – Moral Value
We encourage students to see possibilities, embrace challenges, and approach the future with creativity, resilience, and a belief in their ability to make a positive difference.
Accountability – Performance Value
We teach students to take ownership of their learning and their choices, persevere through challenges, and continually strive toward their personal best.
Respect – Civic Value
We foster a community where students learn to value others, work collaboratively, appreciate different perspectives, and contribute positively to their school and community.
Our commitment to Shared Values and Economic Sustainability also ensures that the decisions we make today strengthen our school for tomorrow. We are building not just for another successful school year, but for the long-term success of Imagine Broward and the generations of students and families who will follow.
There is tremendous momentum at Imagine School at Broward. Our students are learning. Our teachers are leading. Our families are engaged. Our community is strong. Imagine Broward is thriving.
As your principal, I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this extraordinary school community, and I look forward to all that we will accomplish together in 2026–2027.
Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and commitment to Imagine School at Broward. The future is bright, and together, we will continue to S.O.A.R.
Warm regards,
Debra Darling
Proud Principal
