We are so proud to recognize our National Board Certification recipients! 👏

The National Board Certification is one of the most respected professional certifications available in education and provides numerous benefits to educators, students, and schools. The certification was designed to develop, retain, and recognize accomplished educators and to generate ongoing improvement in schools nationwide.

“I am incredibly proud of our National Board recipients for the dedication, resilience, and countless hours of hard work they invested to reach this remarkable achievement. The hundreds of hours candidates have spent reflecting on student learning outcomes create lasting, meaningful impact for the students they serve every day,” Janelle Bishop, JCPS Director of Professional Learning, stated.

Jacob Gibbons, serving as an officer with the Smithfield Police Department for 3 years, is an SRO at Smithfield-Selma High.

As an SRO, like others, Gibbons could not imagine doing anything else. He values building strong, trusting relationships with students and finds the greatest reward in knowing he is helping guide them on their journey and making a lasting difference in their lives.

Thank you, Officer Gibbons! 🌟

Leading with the Heart
❤️ Last night, JCPS proudly celebrated our 2026 Leading with the Heart recipients! ❤️

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! ✨

Yesterday, the Harlem Wizards wowed the sold-out crowd at Smithfield-Selma High with their interactive family show, featuring incredible ball-handling, jaw-dropping trick shots, and high-flying dunks.

The gym was full, the energy was high, and the smiles said it all! 🏀

Thank you to the Harlem Wizards, the Johnston County Education Foundation, and our amazing JCPS community for an incredible night of basketball and unforgettable entertainment!
