💙 It’s #TeacherProud Tuesday in Bluejay Nation in celebration of the incredible educators who shape our future every single day. This month we are spotlighting three new additions to our staff: Charlie Barnett, Special Education; Melissa Clark, Speech Language Pathologist; and Shawna Smith, Family and Consumer Sciences.

From sparking curiosity in the classroom to building confidence in the hallways, our teachers are more than instructors—they’re mentors, motivators, and everyday heroes. Their dedication lifts up our students, strengthens our community, and inspires the next generation of leaders.
