⭐🌟This week's Employee Spotlight is on Hilda Morse from the Okeechobee Freshman Campus.
⭐Hilda is the Data Processor but began her career as a Substitute Teacher at Yearling Middle School.
🌟Hilda graduated from OHS in 1975 and 50 years later she is working for the same district that educated her, how amazing is that?
Hilda said "We are here for the students and if that doesn't motivate a person nothing will. They depend on us daily. I have been trying to retire for 3 years now and just have not been able to turn in that letter of resignation. It will be hard when I do because I just can't imagine not getting up every morning and coming to school."
Thank you for your many years of service Ms. Hilda! ❤
