On November 13, the Learning 2025 Alliance toured the Duquesne City School District, observing many of the district's unique Middle School programming. 

"Co-led by Pittsburgh-area superintendents and AASA, the School Superintendents Association, the Alliance provides workshops, expert speakers, networking, and professional development services tailored to each school district’s unique goals. Together, these 42 districts are reimagining education and showing the world what school could be," according to the Learning 2025 Alliance website.

Middle School students kicked off the tour by performing chants and dances associated with their Ron Clark Academy houses. Afterwards visitors checked out the Lilliput houses, and then saw a number of electives in action — yoga, drone soccer, podcasting, esports, lego league, and district c.
