This week, we are taking time to celebrate our Phantoms who are leading with GRACE. We will celebrate students each day who have been nominated by their teachers, support staff, office staff, and administrators for these character awards.
Today, we focus on the Phantoms who have displayed GRIT, or the ability to overcome obstacles and failures to achieve goals. Luciano Hipolito, Levi Moses, Gavin Alford, Alexis Waldo, Aiden Kholer, Gabriel Aguilar

Leading with the Heart
❤️ Last night, JCPS proudly celebrated our 2026 Leading with the Heart recipients! ❤️

Inspired by the book “Leading with the Heart,” written by Mike Krzyzewski, the event recognizes one staff member from each school and various central services departments. Honorees were nominated by their peers based on several factors, including an enduring commitment to their role, a positive attitude, and an undeniable lasting impact on others.

We honor all 54 recipients for their commitment and their work that does not go unnoticed. Thank you! ✨

Stay tuned for a recap video…
