October is National School Principals Month. We celebrate our dedicated school leaders who play an essential role in shaping their communities and paving pathways for success for each and every student and staff member in their schools. At the 2024 FCPS Honors ceremony, Raven Jones, principal of Luther Jackson Middle School (pictured above) was named Outstanding New Principal. Jamie Gadley, principal of Dranesville Elementary School, was named Outstanding Principal. Read why these leaders were nominated by their peers for this recognition.
