Summary
The school board publicly honored teachers, teacher assistants, support staff and parent volunteers across multiple schools, naming several employees and parents of the year and noting classroom leadership, long service and volunteer contributions.
The George County School District board spent the start of its meeting recognizing employees and volunteers from multiple schools for the 2024–25 year.
Presenters introduced honorees including Abby Colon; Sydney Hilton (identified as assistant principal, SEG 009) presented several awards and praised an interventionist, Tiffany, for staying on top of paperwork and duties. Rishon Ryle, introduced as a principal (SEG 021), highlighted long-serving staff member Kat Graves, who retired after 17 years and was described as keeping “immaculate records.” Tiara Rose was named the VES teacher of the year for her classroom leadership and use of everyday moments for instruction (SEG 072). The board also named parent and support-staff honorees including Alicia Glenn and Myra Morales and recognized first-year teacher Abigail Howard for top math results within the district (SEG 165).
Speakers emphasized volunteer engagement and the role of parents in supporting school events and supply needs. Several presenters said the honorees had repeatedly contributed to PTO activities, field day events and student extracurricular programs. Awards and remarks were followed by a brief recess before the board moved on to its business agenda.
Board members did not take formal votes related to the recognitions; these items were ceremonial acknowledgments recorded on the agenda.
