Our School Resource Officer doesn't just protect our school—he is a big part of our culture and climate.
From the moment he walks through our doors, Captain Jones is more than an officer—he’s a mentor, a familiar face, and a steady presence our students can always count on. Whether he’s greeting our Bobcats in the hallway, lending an ear to a student who needs one, or simply showing up with a smile, he makes our school a safer and brighter place every single day.
On National SRO Appreciation Day, we want to thank Captain Jones for his dedication, his heart, and his commitment to making sure every Bobcat feels safe, supported, and seen.
We are so proud to call you one of our own.
