This week is Teacher Appreciation Week across the country, and we may be biased, but we believe that Preston County Schools has the best. For our teachers, there's no such thing as just a 40 hour work week, or summers, weekends and holidays off. These selfless individuals work tirelessly year-round as they're dedicated to the education of our youth and working to ensure our students are successful beyond the classroom and become the good people we know they are and can be. We thank our teachers this week and every week, and ask that you join us this week in celebrating our PCS Teachers.
