For Our Future World

The BOOM (Breaking Out Of the Margins) Experience, Bellevue School District’s annual event for students in grades 8-12, was held on Thursday, April 3, 2025. This one-day event offered students the opportunity to connect, build community, and find encouragement through engaging workshops and speakers.

As a Creator of her Future World, Rediet Giday’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and community. As a student at Newport High School in the Bellevue School District, Rediet's journey from Ethiopia to the U.S. has been marked by challenges and triumphs. One such victory is being recently named the recipient of the 2025 Robert Toney Williams' Scholarship for Black Excellence in the Arts, Journalism, and Communication. 

We're excited to announce that the Voices of Bellevue School District: Belong, Learn, Lead podcast series has officially launched! The podcast is now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube Podcasts.

BSD has created a podcast so our school community can learn more about the people, programs and services that make up the Bellevue School District. Connected to the 2024-29 Strategic Plan, the Voices of Bellevue School District: Belong, Learn, Lead podcast series aims to foster a sense of belonging, connecting people to the rich cultures in Bellevue and the lived experiences of our staff, students and families. 

As another academic year comes to a close, we celebrate our graduates, students, staff and families. We extend our gratitude to our learning community for your continued support of our district, schools and educators.

BSD is proud to announce its 2024 National Merit $2,500 Scholarship Program winners. Congratulations to all of the students who received this honor.

Read on to explore stories from the year and see some of the ways that the BSD community has shown that together, we can affirm, inspire and thrive.
