National Principals Month

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!

Today, at the ECU Choral Festival, our SSA choir sang “Schlof Main Kind” by Alan Naplan. The song was entered into the music archives of the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. It is a Yiddish lullaby:
Translation below:
Sleep my child and rest
Happy is the child with a mother
And a cradle to be rocked in.
All can be found
And all can be bought.
But without a mother you have
Nothing in this world.
Let your troubles not be great
For you can always be cradled
In your mother’s arms.

So proud of “Panthera Vox!”

You all did such a beautiful job! And a huge thank you to Melora Arant for your amazing accompaniment, Abraham Pamales for driving, and our administration and staff/faculty for your support!
