Guidance Office Administrative Assistant Lynda Hoover’s smiling face is the first thing students see in the high school guidance office.
Hoover is universally loved and respected by students and everyone who works with her.
Guidance counselor Jessica Koeck said she is grateful to have Mrs. Hoover on the guidance office staff.
“Mrs. Hoover is one of the most genuinely kind people I know. She is always considerate and attentive to others needs, including her co-workers. She is extremely smart and very efficient at her job and plays a vital role in not only the guidance office, but the entire school as well,” said Koeck.
The students also appreciate her kindness and willingness to help with whatever they need.
“Seeing Mrs. Hoover really brightens up my day and restores my faith in humanity. She’s always so sweet and positive. She can also sit and listen to any concerns us students are dealing with and make us feel better about the situation afterward. I am so glad Mrs. Hoover is getting recognized. She deserves it,” senior Isis Lucas said.
Every day Mrs. Hoover brings good energy to Tyrone and we are all so grateful to have her as part of the Golden Eagles family.
Eagle Eye: Why did you choose to do what you do?
Lynda Hoover: I saw the job posting and decided to give it a try because I knew I would still get to interact with the students and staff as a secretary in the guidance office. The added benefit is that it is full-time and consistent work, which was something I did not have when I was subbing.
