This week recognizes School Bus Safety Week. Sylacauga City Schools has a bus fleet that runs 15 regular routes every morning and afternoon all over town. Nearly half of our students, from PreK all the way up to high school, ride a bus. Our drivers start their mornings at the bus yard around 6:00 a.m. in all types of weather conditions and are back again by 2:00 for the afternoon run. School bus safety means more than just the maintenance of our buses. It includes the safe driving skills of our drivers and their dedication to safely transporting our students every day. Our drivers know the children on their buses by name. They care for them. And they are committed to the safety of these children. Please join us in saluting this dedicated group of people who are vital part of the Sylacauga City Schools family: Sharon Futral, Stacy Sanders. Kelley Holbrook, Gayle Salters, Christine Goodson, Lisa Hill, Mary Thompson, Veronica Holtzclaw, Nate Brewer, Ralph Booker, Andrew Thomas, John Arant, Tim Taylor, Randolph Pankiewicz, Jason Smith, Don Bozeman, Dr. Matt Hubbard, and Dale Pouge (not pictured.)
We would like to thank our caring and dedicated administrators, who do an outstanding job mentoring and leading our district's students, teachers, and staff. A great principal builds character, inspires dreams, encourages creativity, builds confidence, instills a love of learning, touches hearts, and changes our lives forever.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our students and the school community. Thank you for your inspiring leadership and commitment to life-long learning by following the career path of education after high school. Go Aggies!
Sylacauga City Schools thanks all of our coaches inspiring Aggie Pride in our teams. Go Aggies!
