The EHS staff and I are very excited that Jackie Phillips was chosen as the El Dorado School District Teacher of the Month. Jackie works hard for her students and is very involved in helping the CTE Department grow and expand the career and technical courses of study offered at EHS. She has taken a leadership role in the department in regard to the programs of study and the requisitions. Jackie is in charge of the Wildcat Cafe and does a great job with the student workers. She is also a Senior Class sponsor and spends lots of time working on homecoming, and all senior activities. A fellow co-worker says, "Jackie goes above and beyond! She will do anything and everything to make your job easier!" Jackie will be an excellent representative of El Dorado High School.
EHS could not have chosen a more deserving employee for the Classified Employee of the Month. Diana Carden is the face of EHS as parents and the community enter the building. She is so kind and patient with all...from students, teachers and parents. One of the faculty members describes her as "cheerful, kind, and always helpful--school secretary extraordinaire!" Diana multitasks as she is checking in a late student, while talking on the phone to a parent, and handing a staff member something they need. She is in charge of many of the tedious tasks needed to finalize graduation and orders much of the graduation materials. Another co-worker says, "she is part of the backbone of this school, and yet, she often goes unnoticed." Diana is a hard worker; she asks me many times a week if there is something I need for her to do. Diana is a great representative of EHS and the El Dorado School District.
Kasey Dumas is a very deserving recipient of the student of the month award. Kasey is the daughter of Jamie and Lisa Dumas, is in the 11th grade at EHS, and maintains a 4.14 GPA while taking 3 AP classes and 1 Pre-AP class. One of her teachers says Kasey continues to "complete excellent and timely work through AMI and distance learning! [She has a] perpetually positive attitude and kind spirit." She is very involved in school activities. She is a four year member of the Student Council, a member of Beta Club, photography club, steering committee, and a member of National Honor Society. Kasey is quiet, but friendly and kind to all. Kasey takes care of her business without getting into other people's business! Another teacher describes her as "encouraging, thoughtful, and a joy to be around." Kasey is an awesome representative of EHS and an all around awesome young lady!
Congratulations to these ladies!
