Spaght Science & Communications Magnet Elementary just brought home a 2026 Innovation Award — and I could not be more proud of this community.
At Spaght, innovation isn’t a buzzword; it’s a daily practice grounded in our exclusive partnership with Code to the Future, comprehensive PK–5 computer science immersion, and a relentless focus on equity for our students and families. From Scratch coding and monthly STEM Days, to student-led showcases, podcasts, and cross-grade buddy teams, our teachers and students are transforming from technology consumers into confident creators who lead with critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.
This award recognizes the vision and hard work of the Spaght team, Wichita Public Schools, and our partners who believe every learner deserves access to future-ready skills — regardless of zip code. Congratulations to the Spaght staff, students, and families for showing what’s possible when we design learning environments where innovation, grit, and imagination thrive.
Here’s to Spaght, to Code to the Future, and to every classroom where young coders are already building the future.
