#JCPSEvents | What’s happening in December? 🎄✨

The holiday season is quickly approaching! Take a look at next month's calendar for upcoming events and important dates across JCPS.

Yesterday was a day filled with gratitude, reflection, and appreciation for those who have served our country. 🇺🇸

We had to share a few more special moments from our 22nd Annual Veterans Day Celebration!

The annual Veterans Day event is always a great success, largely in part to the JCPS School Nutrition team.

This group of loving and hard-working individuals, and their wonderful assistants from Girl Scouts Troop 739, always provide a delicious lunch for the veterans with a smile and appreciation!

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to each of them!

On November 10th, 2026, Sophia Roberts, a senior at @Clayton_Comets, proudly led the Pledge of Allegiance at our Board of Education meeting.

Sophia is a true Clayton Comet who excels as both a student and varsity soccer athlete while maintaining high academic standards.

Her dedication has earned her a commitment to continue her academic and athletic career at the College of Charleston. Beyond sports, she participates in First Priority, the SGE Homecoming Committee, and the Sports Medicine program.

She also serves her community by volunteering at the Cooper Academy Fall Festival and the Clayton Civitan Annual Oyster Roast, and by serving as a youth soccer coach.

Most importantly, Sophia leads with humility, consistently doing what is right without seeking recognition. We are incredibly proud of her!

We are proud to recognize Sophia as a member of the 2026-2027 Superintendent Student Leader cohort! 👏

“A ‘Veteran,’ whether active duty, discharged, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to the ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of up to and including his or her life.”

Johnston County Public Schools welcomed veterans from across Johnston County to @SSS_Spartans for its 22nd Annual Veterans Day Celebration, continuing a longstanding tradition of honoring those who have served our country.

The student-led event brought together veterans, families, community leaders, and students for a morning of patriotic music, military demonstrations, and meaningful tributes recognizing the service and sacrifices of America's veterans. Veterans and guests also gathered afterward to share a Thanksgiving-style meal and continue the spirit of fellowship and gratitude.
