Page County Public Schools would like to take a moment to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for his service and sacrifices. Dr. King said, "The people are looking to me for leadership and if I stand before them without strength and courage, they too will falter." May his actions and words continue to be an inspiration to us all.
