February 15 is National School Resource Officer Day, a time to recognize and appreciate the critical role School Resource Officers (SROs) play in maintaining safety and fostering positive relationships within schools.

Let’s take a moment to thank our SROs for their dedication, service, and commitment to creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all!
