It's National School Counselor Week!
This week, we proudly celebrate our unbelievable counselor, Ms. Mia Boullion. From day one, Ms. Mia has proven herself to be a true Pirate. Her work ethic is unmatched, her heart for kids is genuine, and her presence has already made our school stronger.
She is deeply loved by both students and staff, and she never hesitates to go the extra mile, whether it is supporting students, assisting teachers, or showing up for Cheer and extracurricular events. To call her the soft heartbeat of our school is still an understatement.
Ms. Mia’s rise in education has been quick, but that comes from passion, drive, and an unwavering commitment to doing what is right for kids.
We are ALL better because of her, and we are grateful to have her leading, serving, and loving our Pirate family.
We love you, Ms. Mia. 🏴☠️

There is no school today as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a time to slow down, reflect, and recommit ourselves to doing what is right, even when it is hard.
As Dr. King reminded us,
“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
May today be a moment of healing, reflection, and purpose for our Pirate family and beyond. 🏴☠️
