Please join PCSD in thanking our wonderful principals who work tirelessly to support students, staff, and families. Their dedication, leadership, and strong connection to the community are critical to ensure high quality learning, and student and staff success.
PCSD is thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of the first friendly faces you see when you walk into Harmony Elementary — Judy Mayfield!
With a warm smile and a heart of gold, Judy keeps their front office running smoothly and makes everyone feel welcome. Whether she’s answering phones, greeting students and families, or lending a helping hand wherever it's needed, Judy brings kindness and calm to every part of her day.
Thank you, Mrs. Judy, for all you do! Your dedication, patience, and positivity are appreciated more than words can say. We’re so lucky to have you as part of our school family!
Veterans, current military members, and the public are invited to join us on Wednesday, April 30th, at 6pm in the PAC at PHS to honor our Class of 2025 Military Graduates!
