The “Be Golden” award is a new faculty and staff recognition program at the high school.

This award is given weekly by a faculty/staff member to another faculty/staff member. Whoever receives the trophy on Friday is responsible for awarding it to someone else the following week. The only criteria are to give it to someone who has done something to make the school a better place.

“With the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative in our school, we want to not only recognize students for being golden but staff members as well,” said Shannon Davis, the award program coordinator. “This is a way to personally thank people we work with every day, but don’t always have the chance to show them how much they are appreciated.”

Last week the award went to Mr. Steve Everhart

He chose to give the award to Mrs. Faith Everhart

Mr. Everhart’s Quote:

The nominee for the week’s Be Golden Award is someone who has us covered.

If you’re a teacher in need of a day off, she has you covered.

If you’re an administrator who needs a system to make order out of managerial chaos, she has you covered.

If you’re a hungry kid with shredded sneakers and feet that stink so bad they bring tears to her eyes, she has you covered. Even though it’s not in her job description, she’ll fill your stomach, sew your shoes, and wash your feet.

No matter who you are, if you need some common sense perspective or a good laugh, she has you covered.

She’s smart, caring, truthful, forgiving, and, if you ask me, pretty as well. What more can I say about her in a hundred words–or even a million?

This week’s Be Golden” Award goes to my wife Faith.

The Eagle Eye interviewed Mrs. Everhart about being this week’s award winner:

Eagle Eye: What do enjoy most about Tyrone?

Faith Everhart: “I enjoy the people that I work with the most, plus I enjoy what I do. I have been here for nearly 15 years and I have worked at many different jobs within the district and I have enjoyed all of them.”

EE: What do you enjoy most about working with students?

FE: “I enjoy working with the student body of Tyrone mainly because they keep me young at heart. You never really know from day-to-day what you will encounter and, in the position, that I am in I get an influx of students into the office for many reasons and I enjoy listening to the students that come in and learning about their lives and what makes them all so unique which keeps me young at heart.”

EE: How has Tyrone and the atmosphere impacted your life?

FE: “I have a strong sense of loyalty to the Tyrone School District and that mainly comes from seeing what the faculty and staff give to this District.”
