Employee of the Month (June 2009)

Sam's Club Recognizes Travis Reeves for Outstanding Service

In the fall of 2007, Dr. Travis Reeves stepped up to reunite the Eastern High family, and since that time, he has dedicated himself night and day to make sure that every transition has gone off without a hitch. Whether working with the building advisory team, setting up a positive behavior support system, attending his students’ after-school activities or leading graduation intervention teams, Reeves threw his heart and seemingly endless energy into each and every project. In honor of his tremendous efforts and exceptional commitment to achieving educational excellence, Reeves has been selected as the district’s June Employee of the Month.

Reuniting a school after a devastating fire might be a daunting task to some, but Pam Dawson, the parent who nominated Reeves, explained that he jumped right in. “He accepted this challenge with a gracious and positive attitude and was excited about bringing everyone back together,” she said.

Reeves’ significant contributions to Eastern and the district as a whole gained the attention of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro last month and earned him with the 2009 Young Alumni Award.

This recognition is bittersweet for the Wildcat family – on July 1, Reeves will assume the role of superintendent of Ashe County Schools.
  
As Employee of the Month, Reeves was surprised with a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has generously partnered with GCS to support the employee recognition program.
