Nearly 30,000 students return to almost 60 schools throughout Des Moines to begin the 2012-13 school year on August 22nd.

Students were greeted by some new faces, new programs, and renovated school buildings as they returned to Iowa’s largest provider of public education. Tune in as we speak with principals from Garton, Studebaker, and Brubaker Elementary Schools about their first day. We also stop in at McCombs Middle School and Lincoln High School to see how they are ushering in the new school year.
