Jason Johnson Principal of the Year with Superintendent Dr Danielle Jones

There must be something special about a school that makes you want to return, after a five-year absence, to a place everyone knows as your “happy place.”  

For Jason Johnson, that happy place is Orange High School.

His experience and leadership in that place have led to his being named Orange County Schools Principal of the Year for the second time, to serve during the 2024-2025 school year.
