Literally every process in the school, from how to board buses, to how to walk down the hallway, to the scheduling of instruction, has been drastically changed. For an EdLeader there is no more important responsibility than keeping students and staff members safe. Mrs. Emory is leading her team in accomplishing amazing things in a school that radiates joy and positivity. Teachers are being asked to teach in a hybrid model with some students attending in person and others attending virtually. Despite the challenges, teachers and staff at Beaufort Middle School are charging forward, smiling behind their masks, happy to again welcome students into the classroom.Mrs. Emory has led her school through incredible academic gains while negotiating major hurricanes in back-to-back years and the tragic death of a student by suicide.
