On July 31, 2026, Charlotte County Public Schools proudly welcomed 14 new staff members during its annual New Teacher Orientation. The orientation was conducted by the CCPS Instructional Team and provided participants with important information, resources, and support to help them begin a successful school year.
The event opened with a warm welcome from Superintendent Dr. Mason. CCPS administrators also shared a special “Pearl of Wisdom” with the new staff members, offering words of encouragement and guidance as they begin their journey with the school division.
Participants enjoyed breakfast and received grab bags filled with helpful items, along with several special gifts. The event provided an opportunity for new staff members to connect with district leaders, learn more about CCPS, and become familiar with the support available to them.
Charlotte County Public Schools is excited to welcome these talented educators and staff members to the CCPS family. We look forward to the knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication they will bring to our schools and students throughout the 2026–2027 school year.
