Today marks the beginning of National School Principals Week! Be sure to thank any/all of our amazing principals here at Charleston CUSD#1 for all the great things they do. Great leaders inspire greatness in others and create more great leaders, and we couldn't ask for a better team of individuals to accomplish that in our district. We would like to sincerely thank Mr. Lock, Mr. Wood, Mrs. Brimner, Mr. Lynn, Mr. Mayhall, Mr. Ulm, Mr. Marlo, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Mahaffey, Mrs. Morgan, and Mrs. Titus for all being the type of leaders that we would want to follow!
