Today, we’re celebrating the hardworking custodians who help keep our schools clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for learning each day.
Their work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact is seen and felt throughout every school. From preparing spaces for students and staff to stepping in wherever they’re needed, our custodial teams play an essential role in keeping our schools running smoothly.
To all of our PCS custodians: thank you for your dedication, care, and commitment to our students, staff, and school communities. We appreciate all that you do! đź’™
#CustodianAppreciationDay #WeArePerson #PersonPride #ItsBetterInPerson
Throughout this month, we’re proud to celebrate the dedicated principals who lead our schools across Person County Schools.
Being a principal means wearing countless hats — instructional leader, problem solver, encourager, advocate, listener, and so much more. Each day, our principals work alongside students, staff, families, and community members to build strong school communities where students can learn, grow, and succeed.
Their leadership shapes the culture of our schools, supports the work of our educators, and makes a difference in the lives of students each and every day.
🌟 This month, help us celebrate our PCS principals! A note, an email, a kind word, or a simple “thank you” is a great way to let your principal know their leadership is appreciated.
Happy National Principals Month to our outstanding PCS school leaders! đź’™
