“This is such an honor. As the principal of Dublin Elementary, I take pride in everything the entire campus does to ensure academic and social and emotional success,” Mrs. Mitchell told Beneath the Surface News. “It takes every campus counselor, teacher, paraprofessional, secretary, custodian and cafeteria worker. This distinction also indicates we live and breathe our motto; Every Student, Every Minute, Every Day.”
