About

Hello Pinkerton Community,

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us take a moment to acknowledge the countless blessings in our lives. May this holiday season be filled with gratitude, joy, and a renewed sense of appreciation for the people and experiences that enrich our lives.  The true spirit of the holiday season lies in acts of kindness and compassion. By reaching out to those in need, we can bring warmth and hope to their lives. Let us embrace this opportunity to make a difference and foster a stronger, more caring community.

I want to express how thankful I am for the dedicated and hardworking administrative team, faculty and staff who contribute to creating our enriching learning environment for our students. Your commitment to education, making this campus look wonderful and daily operations is commendable.  To our students, I express my gratitude for your enthusiasm, curiosity, and the vibrant energy you bring to our school every day.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving and move into the holiday season, let us be mindful of the importance of kindness, empathy, and gratitude. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and hopefully a few days of relaxation.
