Our latest podcast focuses on the importance of student attendance (spoiler: it's really important) & includes our first guest educator from another district. Thank you to Dr. Dan Johnson from Butler Public Schools for sharing his expertise #NockNation #AttendanceMatters #PeqPantherPride

Last night we dedicated our gym to honor the legacy of Coach Ruth Kellett, a trailblazer for equality in athletics & opportunities for our students. Thank you to Coach Bionde for spearheading this effort and all who helped make it happen. #NockNation youtu.be/DHlaYfvaOe8

Imagine playing outdoor Ping Pong on ice in a hurricane blindfolded, holding a crystal vase & balancing a plate on your head w/tiny dogs nipping your ankles & doing calculus w/Slayer playing at 11. That’s the 1st hour of a principal’s day in May #NationalPrincipalsDay NJPSA
