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!
