🎉 Nash County Public Schools proudly celebrated our 2026 retirees and the many years of service they have dedicated to our students, schools, and community.

The celebration included a performance by the Nashville Cardinal Djembe Drummers, led by Carrie Morningstar. Guests also enjoyed musical selections from Jillian and Joanna Hale of Nash Central High School.

The celebration featured a warm welcome, special student performances, musical selections, and a shared meal. Retirees were honored through the presentation of gifts, meaningful remarks, and a special retirement poem recognizing their years of service and lasting contributions to NCPS.

We are deeply grateful for the time, talent, leadership, and care each retiree has given to NCPS. Your work has made a lasting difference, and your legacy will continue in the lives of the students and colleagues you have supported.

Now it is time to R.E.T.I.R.E.:

Congratulations to our 2026 retirees, and best wishes for a joyful and well-deserved retirement! 💙💚
