Behind every great student, dedicated teacher, and thriving school is a team of leaders working tirelessly behind the scenes. 🍎✨
January is School Board Recognition Month! We want to take a moment to thank our Frankfort Independent Board of Education members for their extraordinary service, leadership, and commitment to our students, staff, families, and community.
These dedicated volunteers spend countless hours in meetings, advocating for our children, and making the tough decisions that keep our district moving forward. Their role involves lots of time, patience, and responsibility - all while managing their personal and professional lives.
We express our sincerest gratitude to our board members - Jina Greathouse, Rebecca Barnes, Sabrina Gordon, Margaret Tillman, and Donna Hecker. Join us in saying "Thank You" to the individuals who help shape the future of our community!
