CCBOE and AmFirst are proud to recognize Gerrita Cleghorn of West Point Middle School and Kerrie McCluskey of Good Hope Middle School as Employees of the Month.
Mrs. Cleghorn has served as an eighth grade science teacher at West Point Middle School for 20 years and is set to retire at the end of this school year. Throughout her career, she has made a lasting impact on countless students and families through her dedication, patience, and love for teaching.
“She greets others with a warm smile each day and exhibits tremendous patience, kindness, and a true love for teaching,” said West Point Middle School Principal Blake Thompson. Her engaging science labs and meaningful lessons have helped prepare students not only for tests and assignments, but also for life beyond middle school.
Good Hope Middle School’s Keri McCluskey is also being recognized for the care and positivity she brings to students each day. Known for her joyful spirit and dedication in the cafeteria, McCluskey goes above and beyond to make sure students are fed and cared for.
Good Hope Middle School Principal Leslee Hembree said McCluskey helps create a warm atmosphere for students and staff each morning. When breakfast participation dropped at the middle school, McCluskey took the initiative to prepare and bring hot breakfast items so students would have more options.
CCBOE is grateful for both of these outstanding employees and the difference they make in the lives of students every day. Thank you to AmFirst for presenting a $100 gift card to our employees of the month!
