National School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on February 15th, and the Jackson Parish School District wishes to recognize the dedicated law enforcement officers who provide security in our local schools. 

Recognition goes to:

Jedd Essmeier:  Jonesboro-Hodge High School
Randy Magee: Quitman High School
Matt Otwell: Weston High School
Roger Curry: Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School
Cole Stevenston: Jonesboro-Hodge Elementary School

“Our School Resource Officers do so much more than provide security — they build relationships, mentor students, support staff, and serve as a calm, trusted presence on our campuses each and every day. They are protectors, role models, and often a listening ear when students need it most. In a world where schools face many challenges, our SROs stand on the front lines to help ensure that our campuses remain safe places for teaching, learning, and growing. Their commitment and care for our children do not go unnoticed. Today, and every day, we are incredibly grateful for their service to our students, staff, and community. Thank you to our School Resource Officers for all you do!” – Jackson Parish School District
