We would like to take this moment to express our deepest thanks to Mrs. Jackie Murray for serving as the Assistant Principal for Preston Elementary School for the past four years! Mrs. Murray has left an impact on every single one of our Panthers, and her kindness, love, care, and compassion for students and education have truly made a difference in our entire Preston community. We wish Mrs. Murray nothing but the best as she begins her new adventure at Greensboro Elementary School next year! Thank you Mrs. Murray! You will always be a Panther to us!



We would like to take this opportunity to extend a thank you and express our gratitude to our entire Preston community, our PES staff, PES Panther PTO, parents and families, local businesses, law enforcement partners, our Preston local government, and all other stakeholders that have made this school year at Preston Elementary School so special! Our Panthers have had such a fantastic year, and that success is due to a team effort that involves our entire Preston community and family. We are looking forward to the next school year already! Please be sure to check our CCPS app and Facebook page, and be on the lookout for school emails over the summer for information on classroom supply lists, back-to-school news, changes at PES, and more. Thank you to all and have a great summer adventure!


Today we said goodbye to not only our wonderful Panthers for the summer, but we also said goodbye to four amazing PES staff members who are retiring this year! We want to wish Mrs. Diana Cohee, Mrs. Pam Slaughenhaupt, Mrs. Pam Reed, and Mrs. Barb Koeneke a very happy retirement! These four wonderful members of our school family are going to be missed by all of us! They took part in our traditional bus loop year end farewell and there were no dry eyes to be found ❤️ We love you!

Thank you to Mr. Tom Cheezum and some of our recently graduated CRHS seniors for coming to PES today to demonstrate their musical talents and instruments to our 3rd grade! Fourth grade is the first year where Preston Elementary School students can begin playing in our band or orchestra, and this was a great way to give them some information from some of our very own here in Caroline County! #CarolineFamily #PESPantherPride



Today some of our Preston staff members held the annual Preston Cup! The Preston Cup is a field day style competition that began in 2015 after the passing of our beloved coworker, Michaela Coulbourn. We have continued this tradition year after year as a way to come together at the end of a long school year. This year will be our 8th Preston Cup and will mark the year that Michaela’s last class graduates high school. ❤️
