We are proud to recognize Laura Nunley, Principal, SRO Officer Watson, and Mary Harris from Watauga Elementary School, who were recently recognized by the School Board for going above and beyond to support a student and family.
On a snowy morning in December, a Watauga student and her parent slid off the road along Hillman Highway and became stuck in a ditch. With a dead cell phone and limited options, help arrived in the form of familiar faces. Mrs. Nunley happened upon the scene, ensured the family made it home safely, coordinated with Officer Watson, and called on Mary Harris -- who used her jeep to help recover the vehicle and spare the family a costly tow.
Thank you for modeling kindness, compassion, and community!
