🌟📘 October is National Principals Month, and today we celebrate the outstanding principals leading our middle schools and K–8 schools!

Whether they are guiding students through the excitement and challenges of middle school or supporting learners from their very first days in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade, these principals are building strong bridges to the future. Their leadership helps students grow academically, socially, and emotionally during some of the most important years of development. To our Lake County Schools middle and K–8 principals: thank you for your dedication, vision, and commitment to helping every student thrive. 💙
