October is National Principals Month. To celebrate, we are highlighting the incredible principals and assistant principals who lead with purpose and passion across our district.

Mrs. Carla Lee, Assistant Principal at Osceola High School, shared her “why” for pursuing a career in education and leadership:

“One of the biggest reasons I chose to enter education was for the lasting impact and legacy it brings. I wanted to help change the trajectory of students’ lives—to be for them what many of my teachers and administrators were for me: LEADERS who were positive role models who showed me that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. I was taught the value of education and was prepared for life beyond the classroom because of their guidance and support. Like them, it is my goal to teach the WHOLE child.

Now, as an administrator, my influence extends even further. I have the privilege of impacting not just individual students, but entire classrooms, teachers, and school communities. My life’s purpose is to leave this world “empty,” having poured out everything God placed in me to give. That is LEGACY. That is IMPACT. That is MY WHY.”

Thank you, Mrs. Lee, for shaping the future of the Osceola School District - one student at a time.

Here are five facts about Hispanic Heritage Month:

1. It spans two months and starts on a significant date The celebration runs from September 15 to October 15, with the start date chosen because it marks the independence days of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
