Last night, JCPS celebrated our 2024 Leading with the Heart recipients!💝
The event, inspired by Mike Krzyzewski’s book, “Leading with the Heart,” recognizes those staff members throughout the school system that demonstrate leadership, compassion, and heart on a daily basis. One person from every school as well as central services was nominated by their peers, because of their unwavering commitment and dedication to their role.
We appreciate and honor all 53 members of the JCPS family for their work that clearly does not go unnoticed. Thank you!✨
Stay tuned for a recap video...
