Governor Kay Ivey has begun her 2025 Back to School Tour, making stops at schools throughout Alabama to mark the beginning of the academic year. During these visits, she spoke with students and participated in school assemblies, focusing on the role education plays in shaping the state’s future.

Ivey used the opportunity to highlight both local and national milestones, referencing America’s approaching 250th birthday. Her core message during each stop was: “Strong Students. Strong Alabama. Strong Nation.” The governor stressed that investing in education is vital for the continued growth and success of Alabama.

The tour underscores Ivey's ongoing focus on education as a key component of her administration’s priorities.
