The people loved and invested in me to help me grow into the educator I am today. Our students truly reap the rewards of being part of such a team and family-oriented organization.”

“As a school resource officer, safeguarding the students and staff is more than just a duty—it’s a privilege. Knowing that I play a vital role in creating a safe and nurturing environment where everyone can thrive fills me with a profound sense of purpose. Building trust and forming connections with the school community is incredibly rewarding, and being able to positively impact the lives of the students and staff is why I am passionate about protecting them. The thing I love most about working at Moore County Schools is the opportunity to change lives one student at a time.”

“I enjoy the relationships I have built within the community through the years with students, parents/guardians, and staff
members. Of course, we have had our share of challenges over the past 20 years, but I have considered it a growing process. I want to thank Moore County Schools for appreciating and allowing me to be successful and enjoy my jobs in the classroom and as a bus driver. You have got to love them.”
