October is National Principals Month
Congratulations to Mrs. Rebecca Fox for being named Yancey County Schools Principal of the Year
She spends many hours each day working to support the students, teachers, and community needs. Thank you for leading Cane River Middle School onward and upward!
To all of our principals and assistant principals, thank you for being servant leaders everyday. Your dedication, knowledge and critical thinking skills are important as you lead our schools. I am extremely proud of each of you and it is an honor to serve with you.
"I am honored to be selected as the YCS Principal of the Year. Leading a school is not the job of one person, but of many. I am blessed to work with a group of teachers, staff, and students that share my desire to embrace the challenges of hard work while maintaining a positive attitude each day. As a Rebel family we strive to be a bit better today than we were yesterday. Do Better. Be Better.
Being a principal is more than a job. I consider it a service to my community. Yancey County has the most amazing students and they are the future of our community. I consider it a privilege to spend each day walking alongside our young men and women as they grow into amazing young leaders and innovators! I consider it a privilege to walk alongside our teachers as they work miracles on a daily basis bringing learning to life. Our students and staff deserve the best, but most importantly they deserve someone that will be there for them when things aren’t the best. My passion is to always be that someone." ~Rebecca Fox, CRMS Principal
Thank You!
To all of our custodians, thank you for wiping, vacuuming, mopping, driving buses, helping our students and taking the never ending trash out every day! You worked endlessly during the pandemic to keep all of us healthy and safe. Know that you are needed and appreciated!
