A big thank-you to our kindergarten teachers, families, and students for making today so special! ⭐📖

Maritza Rosado began her career as an educator inspired by other educators who demonstrated professionalism and excellence. Through this motivation, she has impacted the Selma community in profound ways.
Her influence has not only motivated students and staff to be their best over the years, but has also changed the landscape of education throughout Johnston County and the State of North Carolina. She is currently in the running for 2026 Burroughs Wellcome Fund North Carolina Teacher of the Year, an honor she is truly worthy of receiving.
Take a look at the leadership, dedication, and impact behind an exceptional principal from Selma Elementary School, Maritza Rosado, our 2026-2027 Principal of the Year!
