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! ✨

Feb 16 Update:
Any student that has not participated in a sport and is interested in Spring Sports ( baseball, softball, girls soccer and boy/girls track) needs a current physical for tryouts. Tryouts for these teams will take place Feb.18, 19, 20 from 3:30-5:30. Our Athletic Director will be checking grades and attendance to make sure students are eligible to participate.
Mr. Taylor has been making a positive impact in the lives of students for more than 23 years, serving in many roles and transforming many lives.
His leadership skills and knowledge of education practice and processes have been instrumental in improving student performance, and JCPS looks forward to witnessing sustained growth in the days and years ahead.
Congratulations Mr. Taylor!
