Nebraska Commissioner of Education Dr. Brian Maher paid a special visit to Bancroft-Rosalie Community School, where he engaged with students, staff, and administrators, witnessing firsthand the innovative programs shaping the future of education in this rural district.
Dr. Maher’s visit began with a warm welcome in the school gymnasium, where Bancroft-Rosalie Elementary students greeted him with enthusiasm. During a Q&A session, students posed thoughtful questions like, “What does the Commissioner of Education do?” and “Why did you feel it important to visit our school?” Dr. Maher explained his role in supporting schools across Nebraska and expressed his admiration for the innovative practices at Bancroft-Rosalie, stating, “Visiting schools like this one gives me the chance to see the incredible work being done to prepare students for the future.”
The Commissioner then joined Superintendent Dr. Jon Cerny for a discussion with high school seniors about their dual credit courses and work-based learning experiences. Dr. Cerny proudly highlighted the accomplishments of the Class of 2025, noting that eight of the 18 seniors are on track to earning an associate’s degree by the end of their senior year—a testament to the district’s commitment to academic rigor and opportunity.
Dr. Maher also met with JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates) teacher Nikki Peirce to learn more about how the district integrates the JAG program into its broader focus on work-based learning. The conversation emphasized how Bancroft-Rosalie is equipping students with practical skills and experiences that connect classroom learning to real-world careers.
The visit concluded in a second-grade classroom, where Dr. Maher observed students immersed in coding activities as part of the Project Lead The Way Launch curriculum. Bancroft-Rosalie uses this hands-on program as its core science curriculum, fostering problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and career awareness of Computer Science, Health Science and Engineering from an early age.
Dr. Maher commended the district for its forward-thinking approach to education, saying, “What I’ve seen here today is a shining example of how schools can prepare students for the future while ensuring they remain connected to their communities.”
Bancroft-Rosalie Community School’s innovative programs, dedicated educators, and enthusiastic students left a lasting impression on the Commissioner, who praised the district for its leadership in advancing education in Nebraska.
