Community Breakfast

Join us for the 32nd Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Breakfast on April 11, 2026, as we gather to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrate local students and community members who are making a meaningful difference.

​

At a time when coming together as a community matters more than ever, this annual gathering offers an opportunity to reflect on Dr. King’s message of justice, compassion, and unity—and to recognize those who continue to carry that message forward through their actions.

​

We are honored to welcome Keynote Speaker André Thornton, a PASD graduate, former Major League Baseball player, and successful businessman, who will share reflections on leadership, perseverance, and the importance of giving back.

​
