Educational Support Personnel winners from the 2019-2020 school year were honored by the Shelby County Board of Education at their May 6 board meeting, one year after COVID-19 prevented them from being celebrated for their accomplishments.

“Today, we are proud to honor our Educational Support Personnel of the Year from the 2019-2020 school year,” said Dr. Lewis Brooks, superintendent for Shelby County Schools. “As you know, last school year was rather abruptly interrupted by COVID-19. As a result, we were not able to honor our outstanding support personnel in the same way that we had traditionally done in the past. So, we are making up for that by making sure these individuals get the recognition they deserve.” 

As part of the recognition, the district shared a video which highlights each of the Support Personnel category winners.
