Congratulations to Kat Darden, our leader of the PTHS Teaching and Training Program, for earning this week’s Walk-Through Chain of the Week!
Mrs. Darden exemplifies what it means to be an excellent teacher, leader, and friend.

Through her leadership, she models the very qualities she hopes to instill in her students.

Her impact reaches far beyond her classroom, as she consistently invests in both her students and her colleagues.
We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Darden’s dedication and the example she sets every day. We are proud to call her a Pine Tree Pirate!
