📚 Celebrating Leadership: Honoring Dr. Luis C. Bocanegra for National Principals Month
October is National Principals Month, a time to recognize the dedication, vision, and leadership that principals bring to their schools every day.
At Jimmy Carter Early College High School (JCECHS), we are proud to celebrate Dr. Luis C. Bocanegra, whose unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success continues to inspire our entire community.
Dr. Bocanegra is more than a school leader. He is a mentor, advocate, and champion for every student who walks through our doors. His leadership is marked by a belief that every learner has limitless potential and that education is the foundation for lifelong opportunity.
Under his guidance, JCECHS continues to thrive as a place where innovation meets inclusion, and where students are empowered to achieve beyond expectation.
This month, we extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Bocanegra for his dedication to shaping not just scholars, but compassionate, capable leaders of tomorrow.
👏 Thank you, Dr. Bocanegra, for your vision, service, and the countless ways you make a difference every day.
