Supporting Our Schools In September, Susan and Larry Herst hosted a house launch party for the new Durham Public Schools (DPS) Foundation, a nonprofit supporting DPS students and teachers as well as equity and educational excellence. Mayor Steve Schewel and DPS Superintendent Dr. Pascal Mubenga shared comments on the benefits to the community when we send our children to school together and the improvements already seen from the implementation of the DPS Strategic Plan. Speakers from the foundation’s leadership also addressed the guests, which included DPS teachers and administrators. Learn more and make a donation at bullcityschools.org.
