School Board Meeting Recap

March 5, 2026
 

Employee of the Month: Paul Bjork

It is with great joy and gratitude that we recognize Paul Bjork, Lead Secondary School Counselor, as PACT's Employee of the Month for the month of February. Mr. Bjork is an extraordinary part of our team, and this recognition is a small reflection of the enormous impact you make every single day.

Whether supporting a student who is struggling academically, lending a listening ear to someone who just needs to talk, or masterfully managing the complexities of scheduling, Mr. Bjork brings the same quiet strength and steady presence to it all. We greatly appreciate your sense of humor and the kindness you show our students and staff each day. You are smart, calm, and reliable in ways that our school simply could not function without. And above that, a genuinely kind human being and a lot of fun to work with!

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Bjork!
