Our nominee is a good man,
a good friend, a good dad, and a good role model for students. A public servant
outside of school, our “man in green” is highly involved in school life. With
building student relationships as his priority, he invests in kids and finds
ways to connect with them – as an employee and as a volunteer. Volunteering to
help coach freshmen football gives him an opportunity to build relationships
with incoming students. He earns their trust and serves as a positive influence
for their entire high school career. He also reaches out to students who haven’t
found a place to fit into high school life. He knows them well, but more
importantly, they know him. Our nominee encourages kids who struggle with a
variety of challenges and provides positive examples of the importance of
staying in school. They see beyond
his badge to see someone they trust, and he makes them feel comfortable.
Respected by students, staff, and the community, our nominee works alongside
deans, administrators, and guidance counselors to assist our school’s families
through private
and public
challenges. His
dedication as a
father bleeds
over into
his commitment to our 2000+ students, and they love him for it. Willing
to take center stage at our homecoming pep rally, he dances and the crowd goes
wild. If there is a need, he is willing to help fill it, even if it means
staying late or traveling with organizations to sporting events or providing
security when needed. This relationship builder is a key figure in our school
safety endeavors. All who know him know these two things: he has a caring heart
and a desire to serve his community.
