A huge shout out to Alma Bryant High School principal, Doug Estle on your selection as Alabama’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Administrator of the Year! We wish you the very best in the national competition to be held in July in Washington, D.C.
In closing, my heart goes out to the members of our community who have experienced illness and loss due to the recent Covid-19 outbreak. Our whole world has truly been blindsided by this catastrophic virus. My prayer is that each of you will continue to be safe and well and most importantly, secure in the knowledge that with God’s guidance, we will make it through this whole experience very soon.
