Student/Principal Switch of the Day Congratulations to 7th-grade student Makenzie Beard! Makenzie ranked in the Top 5% of NC Check-ins and earned the exciting opportunity to serve as Principal for the Day. Today, Principal HL became a student, following Makenzie's full class schedule. Makenzie not only dressed the part but also displayed leadership, integrity, and drive in her role as Principal. Great job, Principal Beard — we’re proud of you! #makingtheshift #falconstrong #nwms

Northwest Middle School celebrated student citizenship last week with their Teacher's Choice Awards. Every teacher gets to choose one student out of all of their classes and present some of their highlights for the year at an awards ceremony. Winners receive a gift certificate and attend a special reception with their friends and families. Principal Intern Charmeka Foster says that the event is an important acknowledgement of good will between students and teachers, and that it "shines a light on students who are simply exceptional human beings". Keep up the good work, Northwest! #wsfcs
