February 15th of each year is National School Resource Officers (SROs) Appreciation Day.
For SRO day in 2025 we interviewed each of our SROs, asking a standard set of questions. We didn't even give them the questions in advance (rude, right!).
​
This is the first (of many) videos that will come from the set of interviews.
​
We are thankful for our SROs and all their hard work in protecting and mentoring our county's youth.
