On Wednesday morning, a surprised celebration was held at Jacksonville High School for principal, Ben Peacock, for earning his doctorate degree.
"You guys will never realize how much you made my day," Peacock said.
He was surprised with the school's drumline playing outside the main office.
"These drumline kids, they bring energy, so I was just kind of swept up in the moment," he said. "I was never a drummer, I can’t even read music man, but there’s just something about those kids playing, it just moves me and I just wanted to kind of share a part of that experience with them.
