Johnston County Firefighters Week starts today! 🚒
This week, we honor those who serve their communities with selfless acts of bravery daily.
To train the next generation of firefighters, JCPS is proud to partner with the professional men and women of the Johnston County Fire Service, Johnston Community College, and The Office of The State Fire Marshal to offer the Fire Science Program.
This program, available at Clayton High and Smithfield-Selma High, provides an opportunity for students to earn the certifications and a degree to be employable and promotable within the ranks of the Fire Service upon completion of the program.
Here's to our hometown heroes! Thank you! ❤

Today is National Grandparents Day! ❤

JCPS held an Academic Press Conference to celebrate the achievements of the school district for the 2023-2024 school year! 👏🎉

JCPS also ranked 35th in the state overall and is the largest school district in NC with the lowest percentage of low performing schools, among other academic achievements.
