Chuck Pearson is Principal of Milwood Elementary School. As folks will tell you, he is a humble man who loves and cares for the children of Milwood as if each one was his own personal child. Everyone needs a Chuck Pearson in their lives. Site Coordinator Deb Yarbrough says it is a powerful experience to see a Principal with such love and dedication, refusing to allow even one child to slip through the cracks and fail.

Chuck Pearson is highly visible throughout his building, he is a calming presence to children and adults alike. He reminds us all—through both his words and actions---that children---CHILDREN--are the reason we do what we do.
