🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Rebekah Johnson! 🎉
West Clayton Elementary is proud to announce that Mrs. Johnson is the recipient of the 24-25 Leading with the Heart award for our school! This prestigious honor, inspired by Coach K's leadership model, recognizes individuals who lead with empathy, empower others, and foster a positive culture.
Mrs. Johnson consistently demonstrates these qualities in everything she does, from empowering those around her to going above and beyond to serve others every day. Her dedication and heart make a difference in our school community every day.


Due to the hazardous road conditions caused by the recent winter weather event, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025, as well as all extracurricular activities. The district will operate under Condition 3 of the inclement weather plan.
For JCPS staff, this day will become an optional teacher workday. Schools and county offices will open at 10 AM.
As always, safety is our primary concern and after driving our roadways and receiving guidance from local safety officials and NCDOT, we have been advised that though the main roads within high-traffic areas may be clear, many secondary roads within the rural areas of the county are expected to still have hazardous conditions through Friday, making them unsafe for JCPS transportation use. In addition, many of our campuses have shaded walkways, parking lots, and areas that must continue to be assessed by our operational staff before students may safely return.
Extracurricular activities and community facility use will resume on Saturday morning, however, we still encourage site visitors to travel safely and be cautious while on campus, particularly in shaded areas.
Have a great weekend everyone and make the most of what is left of the snow!
