Today we say goodbye to our Middle School Principal, Mr. Pugh, as it was his last official day working for our district. While it’s tough to see him leave, we are proud to see him move on, as he will become the Superintendent at another area school. Help us wish him the best of luck in his new role! He is pictured with students and staff members from Spirit Week in May on "Dress Like Principal Pugh" day.
