👮♀️ A huge shoutout and heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing School Resource Officers! 👮♂️
Officer Tea at PRES can be seen walking the school perimeter throughout the day. She will be happy to tell you that it is her job and that those students are her babies.
Deputy Goldsmith has only been with our school system for a couple of months but already loves working at PRIS.
Corporal Dixon told senior Natalie Pennington he is "enjoying his time at the GW Campus. He also enjoys giving advice to students about going to college and not wanting to grow up too quickly."
Our SROs go above and beyond to ensure that our school community remains a safe and welcoming environment for all. We appreciate you!🙏👏
