Palisade Welcomes SRO Shawnie Higgins

An exciting new addition to the Palisade Bulldogs, we welcome School resource officer Shawnie Higgins. We are thrilled to have a new member of the pack and we hope she enjoys Palisade just as much as we do. Her goal is to make connections with the students and be someone they can trust and go to if needed. Coming from law enforcement just 3 to 4 hours away in Montezuma, she started reaching out to the academy enforcement. She found out the longer she stayed working with the academy, the more she didn’t want to go home yet. SRO Higgins says she’s very happy with the decision she has made. “ I had gotten in touch with some Palisade staff and I could not have made a better decision. Palisade really showed family and support. I’ve learned that I love working with kids and I think what’s most important is making connections with them and that they know I’m someone they can go to and I’m not just here for any negative reasons.” SRO Higgins has been welcomed to the Palisade family and is welcoming students to herself to get to know and become familiar with. We hope she enjoys her time here and feels a part of the Bulldog pack. Make sure to go say hi to our new SRO, Shawnie Higgins and get to know her, make her feel welcome, and like she is now a part of our team.
