Last week was Assistant Principal Appreciation Week, and we couldn’t let it pass without celebrating our amazing AP, Ashley Drazick! She brings so much energy, positivity, and joy to Seminole every single day. From her enthusiasm for our dress-up days (we all love seeing what she’ll come up with next!) to the countless ways she supports our staff and students, she truly makes a difference. We are incredibly grateful for all she does—Seminole is lucky to have her as a Stallion! 💗🐴
