School-based administrators and district leaders from across Johnston County Public Schools recently participated in the engaging Capturing Kids’ Hearts Leadership Blueprint Training. The professional learning experience focused on equipping district and campus leaders with strategies to cultivate positive relationships, strengthen school culture, and build high-performing learning environments where students and staff can thrive.

Wheels, sneakers, and tons of smiles were all rolled into a meaningful morning!

South Smithfield Elementary School students, families, and staff kicked off Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day with their annual parade from Smithfield Civitan Field to campus. Whether cruising on bikes and scooters, skating along, or walking with friends, everyone showed up ready to move and have fun!

The Smithfield-Selma High School drumline provided beats with the cheerful crowd as they promoted healthy habits, happy hearts, and a great way to start the day!

What an incredible first day at Special Olympics Johnston County Spring Games 2026!

There was so much excitement from the start! Before the games began, the teams paraded around the track to the cheers of the families and friends gathered in the stands.

From 100-meter races and running jump, to tennis ball throw, and bowling, our elementary Special Olympics athletes showed incredible athleticism, determination, and sportsmanship.

Huge thanks to Special Olympics Johnston County for partnering with JCPS to put together this great event at Smithfield-Selma High.

Stay tuned for day two!
