Middleburg Community Charter School Board of Directors presented their very first Leonardo DaVinci Award to Dr. Barbara Smith. The award recognizes Dr. Smith's role as the founding principal of MSSC and thanks her for her "vision, leadership and dedication to the children in our founding year of The Middleburg Community Charter School."

The award features the work of Middleburg artist Kim Bassinger, an artistic rendering of a photo she took of the school's 100-year-old school.
