Principal Note

Service Above Self

On Thursday, January 12th, I had the privilege of attending the Rowan County Service Above Self Award Ceremony at Keppel Auditorium with our Student Government Association. Established in 1995 by Dr. Jim Duncan, the Service Above Self Youth Awards is a program that recognizes young people for their service to others in our community. Our school was nominated in two divisions, Elementary Student Body and Middle School Student Body.

I am thrilled to report that Sacred Heart Elementary placed second and Sacred Heart Middle School placed first! As I told the students on Friday, we never do service for recognition, but it does feel good when others notice our hard work. It was rewarding to see our students recognized for their service to Rowan County.

It seemed fitting that the award ceremony would be so close to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as one of his famous quotes states, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve." The award feels like a well-earned pat on the back, but the truth is, our students are already great because they serve.

Kind Regards,

Erin Brinkley
