MS Art & Tech Show Tonight!
The Breakfast Club (Commerce Edition)
In the movie, five students from different worlds learn they have more in common than they thought. In our schools, these three already know that every kid comes with a different story—and they show up for them all.
Whether it’s encouragement, structure, or just a hallway fist bump, they make sure every student feels seen.
Happy National Principals’ Day to:
Mr. Trevor Brough, Alexander Elementary School Principal
Mr. Rusty Barker, Commerce High School Principal
Mr. John Medlin, Commerce Middle School Principal
Thanks for leading with heart, humor, and a and a PhD in ‘You can’t make this stuff up.'
