“I’m truly thankful to work where I do because of the people, the students, and the culture that make this place special. The staff I work alongside are supportive, hardworking, and genuinely care about one another. The students bring energy, personality, and purpose to every day, and they’re the reason it’s so rewarding to come to work. In addition, the culture within the district fosters teamwork, positivity, and growth, making it feel less like a job and more like a community.” ❤️ #RepthatA
