I ask that everyone join me in wishing all our principals (site principals, assistant principals, associate principals, and deans of students) a heart-felt thank you and congratulations on this day, Principal Appreciation Day. We thank our principals for their tireless efforts in leading our schools. We thank them for supporting all students in public education, especially those who need the support most. We thank them for advocating for programs and offerings that engage students in their learning. We thank them for challenging teachers to reach new heights in all classrooms. We thank them for never shying away from the tough tasks and constant refinements asked of them each year. We congratulate them for their achievements, both large and small. We congratulate them on this special day, set aside to recognize them. Find a principal near you, hug their neck, pat them on the back, give them a high five, but most importantly, let them know you appreciate them!
Thank you, principals, for your service to our students, to our school employees, and to our Hawkins County Family,
Matt Hixson
