Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary School

The Gulfport School District was recently recognized once again as a District of Innovation by the Mississippi Department of Education and presented with its official banner by Bryan Marshall, Ph.D., Associate State Superintendent.

For over a decade, this continued designation has reflected Gulfport’s commitment to fresh ideas in teaching and learning—focused on engaging students and preparing them for what’s ahead.

Our talented Quest students from all the elementary schools and both middle schools showcased the incredible projects they've been working on throughout the year. From the robotics team giving driving lessons in preparation for the world competition at the end of April, to underwater robotics, LEGO STEAM, community projects, Macey Day balloon creations, chess tournments, fingerprint exploration, and steps to publishing - the creativity and hard work on display were truly inspiring! We were thrilled to have our Gifted Advocacy Board Members, principals, central office staff, parents, and community members join us to celebrate our students' achievements. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Your support makes a difference! 💙✨
