On Feb. 24, 2025, Madison Schools - MMSD's Board of Education approved the renaming of Southside Elementary to Lori Mann Carey Elementary School. Lori, who is one of our program namesakes' children and early Mann Scholar program leader, was a beloved South Madisonian and fierce education advocate. This renaming is extremely significant as it not only honors her legacy, but is rooted in Southside community pride.

We were proud to uplift our incoming Mann Scholars and our senior Hezekiah, at the 42nd Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Youth Recognition Breakfast hosted by the Urban League of Greater Madison.

It was a powerful morning honoring nearly 300 middle and high school students of color from across Dane County for their academic excellence, leadership, and commitment to service, including the next generation of Mann Scholars, who embody Dr. King’s vision through scholarship and community impact.

On December 13, our Mann Scholar seniors attended the annual scholarship gala hosted by the YP: Urban League of Greater Madison Young Professionals a dynamic group of leaders committed to empowering communities and changing lives through the Urban League Movement.

Our scholars had the opportunity to connect with and celebrate young Black professionals and community partners who are making a difference. Moments like these expand our scholars’ vision for their futures, reminding them that excellence, leadership, and success are within reach, especially when they see it modeled by those who look like them.

Thank you to YP for hosting our scholars and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
