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

Join Person County Schools as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week — a time to unite and stand strong for a drug-free future.
This year’s theme is: 🧩 “Life is a Puzzle – Solve It Drug Free!” 🧩
Throughout the week, our schools will host activities, dress-up days, and lessons to encourage healthy choices and positive lifestyles.
Let’s work together to inspire our students to live drug-free and proud!

Let’s come together to stand against bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Every action counts — from speaking up when you see bullying to showing support for those who need it most.
Wear orange Wednesdsay to show your commitment to creating safe, supportive spaces for everyone. Together, we can make a difference. 💪✨
#UnityDay #StandAgainstBullying #KindnessMatters
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!

The PCS Career and Technical Education Program is proud to recognize sophomore, James Baker, as the first student to earn his OSHA-10 Certification for the 2025 - 2026 school year!
The OSHA-10 Certification is a nationally recognized safety training program developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It provides students with 10 hours of essential training on how to recognize, avoid, and prevent workplace hazards — especially in fields like construction, manufacturing, and other technical trades.
James is serious about safety, responsibility, and being prepared for the workforce.
