During today’s Board of Education meeting, our school counselors were proudly recognized for their dedication and service to our district. This group plays an essential role in supporting students’ academic achievement, social-emotional growth, and college and career readiness. They wear many hats each day—advocate, mentor, problem-solver, encourager, and leader—often working behind the scenes to ensure every student has the support needed to succeed. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment, compassion, and service to our students and schools. Thank you to our outstanding school counselors for the difference you make every single day! Pictured with our Superintendent, Board Members, and Counseling Supervisor Kevin Dulaney, are (left to right): Julie Kladke-HHS, Erica Salter-HES, Monica Allen-PHS, Jonathan Tuck-PES, Lisa McCaleb-BES & BHS, Jessica Scott-GES, Alana Hawkins-MCHS, Halie Hagood-HCES, Raven Wilburn-HCHS, and Allyson Frederick-HMS.

Today we want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate our wonderful School Resource Officer, Officer Matt! 💙
Our SRO does so much more than wear a badge. He builds relationships, mentors students, supports staff, and helps create a safe and positive environment where learning can thrive. Whether it’s greeting students in the morning, offering guidance during tough moments, or stepping in to ensure everyone feels secure, his presence makes a difference every single day.
Thank you for your dedication, patience, and commitment to our school community. Your kindness, leadership, and willingness to serve do not go unnoticed. We are grateful for the care and protection you provide and for the positive impact you have on our students’ lives.
We appreciate you today and every day! 👮♂️✨

Happy Counselor’s Week!
We want to give a huge thank-you to Mr. Tuck for everything he does for Phillips Elementary School. Our students love and trust him, and they know they always have a safe place and a caring adult when they need one. Our teachers are grateful to have someone they can depend on for support, guidance, and teamwork. Mr. Tuck’s kindness, dedication, and commitment make a difference every single day. We are so lucky to have you—thank you for all you do! 💙✨
Attention: if any of our little bears are interested in playing baseball or softball.
