Beyond teaching academics, Mr. Pore focuses on helping students build confidence, social skills, and resilience — qualities that set them up for success in life. His innovative approach and caring heart have made a lasting impact on countless children and families.
We are thrilled to see him recognized for his dedication and servant leadership. Congratulations, Mr. Pore — and thank you for representing Cabarrus County Schools with excellence!
