GEC’s Pride in Greene award

Sharon King, LCC Liaison for Greene Early College, was chosen by the GEC staff to receive the Pride in Greene Award.  The recognition was made at the Greene County School’s Annual End of Year celebration on June 8. Each school in the system is offered the opportunity to recognize one of its staff members that exhibits pride in the students’ education and the mission of the school. 

Also, the recipient of the award has gone above and beyond the basic job description for students' success. During this challenging year of the Pandemic, Mrs. King has consistently encouraged and counseled students to bring their goals to fruition.  In addition to her day-to-day responsibilities and recognizing that each teacher was faced with the tasks of face-to-face classes, online sessions, virtual academy and limited student contact, Mrs. King realized the logistics of a conventional yearbook would be almost impossible. 

Therefore, she volunteered to produce a digital yearbook to preserve the memories of a Pandemic year in the students’ educational process.  The result is a 68-page permanent document that truly captures the students and the spirit of the past year.  Congratulations, Mrs. King; well deserved!
