I know it will continue the exciting tradition of Fellowship, enduring Relationship, and fulfilling the Friendship Spirit. I have re-located to the Pittsburgh, Pa area and miss the staff at Blow Pierce so much! Oh! I miss Tech Prep too! To the Central office staff, keep on keeping on in your great Leadership. You are truly second to NONE! CHANGE is Inevitable, but GROWTH is Optional! You set the Bar in Education so High that surrounding jurisdictions can’t keep up! These last 7 years of a 43 year career in Education has been so wonderful being a small part of the F P C S FAMILY… My sincere gratitude, Love and well wishes to you Ms Brantley as you make it happen again & again & again! I am always … Yours in education, Gober, but now Lennon Reply Tationa on August 27, 2020 at 10:04 am Beautiful ????????????????
