YAYWORTHY:
Nominator Kristine Klopton said,
“Paula is amazing. She is always so professional and willing to jump in wherever she is needed. She is punctual and always has a smile on her face. She has been asked to provide ASL services to last minute placements so that students with hearing loss don't go without. She has been with our county for over 20 years and is always there for her students. When her assigned student is out, her next question is, 'Where do you need me.' She recognizes that we are a team. She also forms great relationships with her students.
“She went to two different schools this week when her student was absent, providing coverage for both a first grader and a middle schooler when her home school is a high school. Her ability to provide sign language to all different ages and schools is amazing. She is well respected with everyone and is a pleasure to work with."
Thank you for all you do, Paula Young-Haugh, to make a positive difference and move HCPS forward!
