  • PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY

    In fall of 2018, Aiken County Public Schools held its first Principal For A Day event.  Community leaders and elected officals were invited to experience first-hand a day in the life of a school administrator.  Quite an impressive group of community, business and politial leaders were included. The list included mayors of both Burnettown and New Ellenton, The Mayor Pro Tempore of Jackson, county council members, HR Managers, CEO's, vice presidents, business owners, board chairs, directors, writers, radio personalities and pastors.  They joined us to learn more about the inner workings of our public schools an demonstrate their support for public education.  

    This year's list includes many prominent community leaders who share the common goal of improving our city and our education system.
