Rutherford County Schools
Today we celebrate the 79 School Resource Officers who serve our students, staff and schools with unwavering dedication.
In this special SRO Appreciation Day message, Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Sullivan, Rutherford County Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh and Blackman Middle School SRO Cami Stamps share how this powerful partnership between Rutherford County Schools and the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office strengthens every campus in our district.
Our SROs are more than a presence in our buildings — they are mentors, protectors and trusted adults who build meaningful relationships with students and staff each day. Their commitment to safety, attention to detail and investment in our school communities make a lasting impact.
We are grateful for the collaboration, care and professionalism they bring to RCS every single day.
