212 Degrees Initiative

Water is hot at 211 degrees. At 212 degrees, water boils and produces steam. Steam can move a train!

Starting with the 2023-24 school year, Superintendent Dr. Claude Tiller, Jr., is asking all employees to give that extra degree on behalf of Green Bay Area Public School District students. One extra degree, one extra effort to make a difference in the lives of our students. We encourage you to join us by giving an extra effort to make this community great for kids!
