In honor of School Resource Officer Appreciation Day, we proudly recognize and thank our dedicated School Resource Officer, Officer Ben Jones, for the incredible work he does every single day in our school.
Officer Jones is so much more than a police officer — he is a mentor, role model, educator, and trusted member of our school community. On a daily basis, he builds positive relationships with students and staff, promotes safety, and helps create an environment where learning can thrive.
From daily interactions to being a reassuring presence in the hallways, our SRO goes above and beyond to support and protect our youth. Thank you, Officer Jones!
