Snow Hill, NC - Greene County Schools has selected their first Outstanding Employee of the Month for the 2022-2023 school year. For November, Ms. Patricia Riggs, an English Language Arts teacher at Greene County Middle School, has been recognized with this honor. 

A colleague of hers writes, "[Ms.] Riggs works tirelessly to unify the 7th-grade team for the best interest of staff and students." An employee who brings others to work together brings great value to Greene County Schools. 

All staff had the opportunity to nominate a fellow employee who consistently goes above and beyond their role to positively impact others. This process allows employees to be recognized for accomplishments seen by one or two peers while permitting administrators and team leads to nominate from a broader perspective. The employee selected for Outstanding Employee of the Month is recognized at the Board of Education meeting and given a certificate and a gift card to a local restaurant. This is one way Greene County Schools can show appreciation to its staff members for their hard work.
