On June 2, 2025, Sergeant of the Guard Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Jay took his final walk as a Tomb Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. In a powerful farewell, he laid roses at each crypt of the Unknown Soldiers, then walked off the plaza hand in hand with his 8-year-old son, Finn.

At closest approach, the @NASA Parker Solar Probe will be hurtling around the Sun at about 430,000 mph!! WOW! It will get within 4 million miles of the Sun! #dragonflymission, #ISTECert, #ParkerSolarProbe

Just learned about the @NASA Parker Solar Probe! Super awesome. Tracing flow of energy connected to solar corona and wind speeds, analyze plasma/magnetic fields with solar wind and more with energetic particles. #Dragonflymission #ISTECert #ParkerSolarProbe

If you want to keep the best teachers and administrators, treat them like they are the best. Few people leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

You don't administrate schools to excellence.

Amen.

Leave them better because you led them.

We received horrible news last night that one of our former students, A’Laysia Percy (2022) died last night. A’Laysia had an amazing personality and a beautiful smile. She was well liked and loved. She was a talented art student and member of our girls basketball team. We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to A’Laysia’s family, friends, teachers, coaches and loved ones. Rest easy Percy. You will be missed. Once a Pel, Always a Pel. 😊💙🕊️

@jenwagner Thank you for all the valuable knowledge you shared with the world. Rest now. You’re at peace. Prayers for your family.
