Today, we recognize and celebrate National Speech-Language Pathologist Day and extend our sincere appreciation to the dedicated SLPs who support students across PCS.
Speech-Language Pathologists play a vital role in helping students develop the communication skills they need to succeed—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Through assessment, targeted intervention, and collaboration with families and school teams, SLPs support students in building skills in speech, language, literacy, social communication, and more.

Today, students at Kingwood Elementary School had the opportunity to participate in the third annual “Take Your Tractor to School Day” hosted by Preston High School!
Our students enjoyed getting an up-close look at the tractors and equipment before the parade of machines lined South Price Street as PHS students made their way to class while celebrating our area’s rich agricultural heritage.
This event was also a wonderful opportunity to highlight the hard work and dedication of our vocational and agricultural programs and the important role they play in preparing students for future careers and preserving traditions in our community.
A special thank you to PHS Junior Brody McCleary for organizing a successful event for our schools and community!
