She has such a compassionate heart for helping people in any situation and is a team player who always gives 110%.”

Elizabeth Ragan was selected from the Professional Services division. Her instructor, Jessica Barfield said, “Elizabeth always goes above and beyond on every assignment.  She consistently out does her peers and exhibits a true passion for the art of teaching young children.  She is a shining example of what SWGTC wants to represent in the community.”

Zaleudiki Jones was nominated from the Technical and Industrial division by instructor Chad Faircloth. “Mr. Jones is excelling in the classroom and in the lab.  As a student, he is beginning to take on new roles such as helping and guiding other students,” Faircloth said of Jones.

From the Business Office Technology program, Rosalind “Lisa” Gardner was nominated by her instructor Patricia Christian who said of her, “She has a pleasant and positive attitude.  She works hard to excel in her classes, is always very cooperative, and  willing to lend a helping hand where needed.”
