Greetings Rocket Family!
I am thrilled to serve as your Interim Assistant Principal! My time as an Instructional Coach and Multi-Classroom Leader at PHS has given me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with both staff and students, and I look forward to expanding and strengthening those connections in this new role.
As a native of Person County and a former Person High School Rocket, I know firsthand what it means to have Rocket Pride. We are a resilient community, rooted in tradition, and united by our shared commitment to ensuring success for every student in our care.
I am honored to continue serving alongside my colleagues as we soar to even greater heights together. #RocketPride

It's National School Bus Safety Week! Safety doesn't begin or end with the bus ride. It's about safety at every stop!
Please remember these two important safety tips:
Stay Alert: Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
Stop for the Bus: Obey the stop-arm law every time.
Thank you for all that you do to help keep all PCS students safe from the time they leave home in the morning until they return in the afternoon!
