Happy Principals Month to Mrs. Rodriguez! It’s rare to find a leader who genuinely pours her heart into every single aspect of a school, but we see it every day at Keystone Heights Jr/Sr High. Mrs. Rodriguez shows us exactly what true servant leadership looks like. She’s notorious for mentoring students in the hallways, supporting our teachers behind the scenes, and jumping in to help at a busy after-school events. She never says, "That's not my job." Instead, she asks, "How can I help?" She is our biggest cheerleader, our strongest advocate, and a steady, caring presence for the entire KHHS family. We are so incredibly lucky to have her in our corner. Please join us in celebrating her today! ❤️🤍💙 #NationalPrincipalsMonth #OneTribe #KHHS #ServantLeader #CommunityFirst
