North Johnston Middle School

Congratulations to Our March 2026 Employees of the Month!

Stephen Ruiz – 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher

Mr. Ruiz serves as a seventh-grade social studies teacher and was recently recognized as our school’s First Year Teacher of the Year. He is a true team player with a positive attitude and a passion for teaching and learning. He even volunteers his time to help students with math!

Mr. Ruiz supports his students daily while maintaining high expectations for success. He has also volunteered to assist with both our boys’ and girls’ soccer teams. We are thrilled he joined the Jaguar staff this year and is part of our NoJo community.

Deputy Chase Cooper – School Resource Officer

Deputy Chase Cooper serves as our School Resource Officer. He consistently supports students, staff, and administration with a positive attitude and a willingness to help wherever needed. His hard work and reliability never go unnoticed.

Deputy Cooper truly cares about the safety and well-being of our students and school community. He is a steady presence at school events and treats all students and staff with kindness and respect.

We are proud to celebrate Mr. Ruiz and Deputy Cooper for their commitment, teamwork, and tremendous impact on our school.

Thank you both for making a difference each and every day!
