Two recent graduates of the Portland Public Schools, Usira Ali and Fatuma Noor, were elected to the Portland Board of Public Education in November 2023. Ali, a 2018 Portland High School graduate, won an at-large seat on the Board and Fatuma Noor, a 2019 Deering High School graduate, won the District 4 seat. The Portland Public Schools not only prepares and empower students for colleges and career but encourages them to be engaged citizens. Kudos to these two alums for their civic engagement!
