Alcorn Central Middle School

This is National Assistant Principals Week, and we want to say a big thank you to our three FABULOUS Assistant Principals! We are so appreciative of the things each of you do in order to keep our students learning, teachers teaching, and school running. You each show your dedication and passion for our school each and every day. For that, we thank you! Matthew Young - ACHS Rhoda Cannon - ACMS Cassie Brooks - ACES Join NASSP, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the American Federation of School Administrators in honoring the enormous contributions of assistant principals to student success. This year, our celebration takes on even greater significance as we recognize all that assistant principals have conquered amid the pandemic and consider what their ever-expanding and evolving role might look like moving forward. Through it all, America’s assistant principals have demonstrated unwavering leadership—becoming a source of strength and inspiration for us all. We are AC!!
