Stephon Fuentes, serving as a deputy with the Johnston County Sheriff's Office, has been an SRO for 5 years. He served at Choice Plus Academy for 3 years and is now in his second year at Cleveland High.

When Deputy Fuentes was out on the road, he dealt with a lot of young adults, and his supervisor noticed that he had a way of connecting with them in a positive way. He knew that if Fuentes became an SRO, he would pour into them, and Fuentes has done just that.

This year, he started a program called Real Talk With Deputy Fuentes, as a way for students to have an opportunity to talk about whatever may be going on in their lives with him and their peers.

Thank you, Deputy Fuentes! 🌟

Leading with the Heart
❤️ Last night, JCPS proudly celebrated our 2026 Leading with the Heart recipients! ❤️

Inspired by the book “Leading with the Heart,” written by Mike Krzyzewski, the event recognizes one staff member from each school and various central services departments. Honorees were nominated by their peers based on several factors, including an enduring commitment to their role, a positive attitude, and an undeniable lasting impact on others.

We honor all 54 recipients for their commitment and their work that does not go unnoticed. Thank you! ✨
