Congratulations to Principal Simmons for being named Region 4 Outstanding New Principal of the Year!

We are incredibly proud of Mr. Simmons for being awarded this prestigious recognition!

By winning the region, Mr. Simmons becomes a finalist in the final round where he will compete against outstanding new principal finalists from the other five regions of FCPS.

“It is rare to find a leader who exhibits a profound sense of understanding, charisma, poise, steadfastness and true joy every day. What may be even more rare is one who embodies these qualities in the face of new experiences, change, and adversity. Yet, this is exactly what is found upon entering South County Middle School as any student, staff member, parent, or community member is greeted by the smiling, welcoming and genuine spirit of Mr. Simmons, second year principal. He is so authentic and truly excited to serve, support and grow alongside his school community.” ( nomination excerpt)
