It's National Family Week !🎈
Families help shape the values and beliefs of individuals while also providing a sense of belonging and identity. They also provide emotional and social support, care, and guidance to individuals.
The next amazing administrator we're recognizing today is Mrs. Heather Anders, Principal of North Johnston Middle! Mrs. Anders continues to be an exceptional leader, and is a strong advocate for her students and staff.
Thank you for all that you do Mrs. Anders! ❤️🖤
Continuing our celebration, we have Micro Elementary School Principal Carson Cataliotti! Ms. Cattaliotti's dream has always been to be a leader in education, and it shows in her love for her school. In her second year as principal of Micro Elementary, she continues her dream with compassion and understanding to her students and staff.
A big hip hip hooray goes out to Ms. Cataliotti!!!
Up next, we're recognizing Mr. Clint Eaves! Mr. Eaves is the Principal at Meadow School, where he continues to follow Meadow School's mission by empowering the students to enrich their world by learning through relationships and innovative experiences.

Even though we celebrated National Custodial Workers Day yesterday, we felt our marvelous custodians deserved another round of applause! The 189 workers that make up JCPS Custodial Services Department are a huge part of what keep the district going. Often, they are the first to arrive at their buildings and the last to leave. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you again for all that you do!!!👏👏👏
October is National Dropout Prevention Month.👨🎓👩🎓
Johnston County Public Schools graduation rate for the Class of 2023 was 91.6%, well above the state average of 86.4%.
On National Custodial Workers Day, our beloved custodians all over JCPS were surprised with a small token of appreciation to celebrate the work they do all year long! JCPS is so grateful to have this amazing group of people in our corner, making a difference not only in the buildings they maintain, but in the lives of the students and staff at their schools. THANK YOU!💝
Up next for National Principals Month is Archer Lodge Middle Principal Matt Johnson!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month ~
Bullying hurts, not only when it's happening, but the emotional impact can last a lifetime. Together we can create communities that are kinder, more inclusive and accepting for all students.
It's National Custodial Workers Day, and we are pumped to celebrate these superheroes.
The custodial workers of JCPS are dedicated men and women that ensure our students and staff have clean and safe school buildings. Our custodial staff is second to none, and work diligently in the background. Often they are the first to arrive and the last to leave each day. JCPS thanks each and every one of them!
It's Johnny Appleseed Day!🍎

Big applause for Talon Brown, our next Character Education Award recipient for September!
A senior at Cleveland High, Brown shows lots of initiative daily, as he is always reaching out to other students and teachers. He embodies the essence of perseverance, proving that with the right mindset and determination, one can conquer anything that life throws their way. ✨
Let's celebrate Taylor Hyman, another September Character Education Award recipient!
A 7th grader at Swift Creek Middle, he has demonstrated many positive character traits, from respect to perseverance to compassion. Hyman shows compassion to classmates during group activities by including others that may not have a partner, and offering assistance to those who are struggling with classwork. He is always happy and has kind things to say even in tough situations.
Keep up the good work! 🤩
Shout out to Harper Benson, one of our September Character Education Award recipients. New to Polenta Elementary, Benson is a fifth grader and already shines through her kindness and caring demeanor. Although she is new to the school, Benson stepped up to help a student who started school once the year had begun.
Way to go!👍
Two things are certain. First, we have amazing students and staff! Second, we never get tired of celebrating their successes!
We had a great time as JCPS principals received their 2022-2023 academic success banners last evening. You will see these banners proudly hanging in the schools as early as next week.
Our students and schools have done it again! Data recently released from the State Board of Education shows that our students and schools are continuing to excel and outperform years past. JCPS is one of only six districts in the entire state that have exceeded pre-pandemic levels of achievement! On top of that 44% of our schools were in the top 20% in North Carolina for growth. That is truly something to be proud of! We can't wait to continue to celebrate our successes in the days ahead!
