🚔 Happy SRO Appreciation Day! 🚔
Today, we are proud to recognize and thank our incredible School Resource Officers who serve our students far beyond the badge — Officer Ziegler, Officer Rawn, and Officer Cooke.
Officer Ziegler has served as an SRO for 8 years and enjoys working with students as they grow and develop into young adults. Building strong relationships with students is one of her favorite parts of the job, helping students see her as more than just a badge.
Officer Rawn has dedicated 25 years to law enforcement, including 13 years as an SRO serving at the high school, middle school, and elementary levels. She loves joking around with students and making them laugh, while also emphasizing the importance of care and connection. She believes that students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care — and that those relationships play a key role in students’ academic success and personal growth.
Our SROs mentor, teach, protect, and build relationships every day, helping make our school a safe, welcoming, and supportive place for students.
Thank you, Officer Ziegler, Officer Rawn, and Officer Cooke, for all that you do — today and every day! 💙🦅
