Mr. Brent Frazier was honored to be recognized by NASSP as the 2024 Florida Principal of the Year! According to Mr. Frazier, Washington, D.C. was invaluable. He had the opportunity to network with fellow educators and the U.S. Department of Education officials. They discussed critical issues such as Al in education and strategies for recruiting and retaining high-quality ESE teachers. Mr. Frazier stated that a highlight was engaging in crucial conversations at the White House, about school safety and mental health. He looks forward to bringing these insights back to our school community. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGUUYwsEJI/pk9AzXORZRKlfDPWjiEPIw/view?utm_content=DAGUUYwsEJI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor
