February 15 is Student Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day.
The SRO assignment is unique within the law enforcement profession. These officers fill a three-part role, serving as informal mentors or counselors, law educators and law enforcement officers to support the students and communities they serve.
We are thankful for the work our SROs do each day to connect with our students and keep our schools safe!
It was a joy to see PPS Chief Equity Officer Shonda Hollowell speak with heart and strength at today's meeting of the Paducah Professional Women's Group about the value of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in our community. Thank you, Ms. Hollowell!
