Page County High School

Wednesday, April 27, 2022, is Administrative Professionals Day. However, we are honoring our Administrative Professionals all week long. They are definitely some of the unsung heroes in the division. Ms. Jennifer Adams--Page County High School --Guidance Department Ms. Adams began with Page County Public Schools in 1990, when she took the position in the main office/library at Luray High School. In 1993 she transferred to Page County High School and remained in the main office for 25 years. 3 years ago the opportunity to move into the Guidance department at PCHS opened and she as been there every since. In all, Ms. Adams has devoted 31 years to Page County Public Schools! When asked what she enjoys most about her job, she responded that the kids are what make the job the enjoyable. She says, "The majority of our kids are the kindest, most appreciative young adults, who are just looking for assistance or attention." Both of which she is always willing to provide. When posed with the question of --If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go, and and why?-- Ms. Adams responded, "If I could go anywhere, it would be Germany. I was in the Army and stationed there in the 80's and would love to go and visit again." Thank you, Ms. Adams, for the time and attention you devote to the students of Page County High School, and for your dedication to PCPS. You are appreciated.

Join us in celebrating School Library Month! This month we are celebrating School Library Month, and we would like to recognize our school librarians and thank them for all that they do to promote a love of reading for our students. First, we will recognize Mrs. Jennifer Bracken--Page County High School "For the first ten years of my career, I taught high school English in another school district. It was during that time that I started to think about doing something different in the education field. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and started to research different Master's programs. It didn't take long before I found the cohort for School Library Media Science through Longwood University that was starting in the fall. I knew at that point that that was what I was meant to do. I started into the cohort to get my Master's and become a Librarian and loved every minute of it. I knew in my heart that I was meant to be one. That was 2009 and I finished in the Fall of 2012 and was hired shortly after at Page County High School to become their Librarian. The rest is history and I've loved my job ever since. Not only do I love getting to instill the love of reading into my students and put that perfect book into their hands, but I also love getting to work will all of the students in the building and all of the subject areas. It is so much fun to be able to co-teach with so many and learn new things with the kids in those classes. When I am not at Page County High School doing the many things in the building that I do, I am a mom, wife, and student. I am taking graduate classes through JMU to add the school leadership/administration certification to my Master's. My two kids, ages 15 (son) and 13 (daughter), are three-sport athletes. They both play football, wrestle, and run track. They both wrestle year-round and compete in tournaments all over the country. My husband and I are kept very busy with all of their activities. When we have a little free time, we love to go hiking, camping, off-roading, and kayaking. The great outdoors is our favorite place to be." Thanks, Mrs. Bracken, for sharing your love of reading with your students and for all of the other ways you assist at Page County High School. You are appreciated.
