🌟 Student Voices Making an Impact! 🌟
To wrap up their final meeting of the school year, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council gathered at the Central Office recently to share their thoughts and experiences directly with Superintendent Dr. Tammy Garrett and Assistant Superintendent Tim Harwell.
Dr. Garrett made a special presentation recognizing two seniors, Caroline Cook, #CascadeHighSchool, and Trinity Roaden, #CommunityHighSchool, for their five years of service - serving since this council first began and the students were in 8th grade!
Throughout the school year, this dedicated group has represented their peers, offered valuable feedback on district initiatives and helped identify opportunities to strengthen #BedfordCountySchools. Their perspectives continue to play an important role in guiding decisions and supporting #student success. 💬✨
We’re grateful for their leadership and proud of the meaningful contributions they’ve made this school year to help shape the future of our schools. 🎓
