Principal CeCe won the opportunity to be Middle School Principal for the day during Whitefield's Legend Auction. With classroom observations, meeting with grade chairs, discussing discipline with the Dean of Students, emailing teachers, and having a blast during the 6th Grade pizza party, CeCe learned that as a principal, you should always have a plan for the day that you submit to the Lord, then hold them loosely in order to serve the people in your care. Thank you to Middle School Principal Crosland for serving as a mentor for her day on the job.
