Happy School Principals Month to our favorite school principal, Dr. Hall!

What better way to learn about Dr. Hall than straight from the man himself?! Our students had a little fun dressing up as Dr. Hall and sharing what makes him so special!

We love celebrating the leadership, support, and fun that Dr. Hall brings to McKissick Academy every day. He keeps us laughing, encourages us all, and makes our school a better place for students and staff alike!

Thanks for all you do, Dr. Hall! We’re lucky to have you leading the way! Help us wish him a happy school principals month in the comments or the car line 😄
