🎉 Happy Birthday to James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States and the namesake of our school! Born on this day in 1831, Garfield was a true advocate for education and self-improvement.
📚 Did you know? President Garfield believed deeply in the power of education and was the only U.S. President to serve as a college president before taking office. He once famously stated, "Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained."
🌟 During his brief presidency, Garfield championed civil rights and reforms that aimed to create opportunities for all Americans, including expanding access to education.
We are proud to carry on his legacy through our commitment to learning, leadership, and service. 💛🖤 Go G-Men! #HappyBirthdayGarfield #JAGPride
