๐ŸŽ“ Every student has a story. Every day is a chance to make a difference.

In this edition of The Journey, we spotlight Mr. Darrell Rawls, School Secretary at OWNCS 1 Middle School, whose path reminds us that education is about more than academicsโ€”itโ€™s about relationships, support, and helping students see whatโ€™s possible for their future.

Through his work, Mr. Rawls helps create a school environment where students feel welcomed, valued, and encouraged to grow.

Thank you, Mr. Rawls, for the positive impact you make on our community each day. ๐Ÿ’œ
