Matt Owen, Delivery Courier, Transportation, was nominated for HOPE and BELONGING (that’s right, he was nominated by two separate people)! Mr. Owen’s infectious personality spreads positivity and encouragement, and his interactions make a lasting impact on those around him. When he is in each building, he always brings an uplifting outlook that brightens the day for everyone around him.
Nikki Gayler, College & CareerTech Specialist at EPSAC, was nominated for HOPE. Ms. Gayler has done an amazing job with our ICAP and internship program for our students. These opportunities provide our students with hope for their future and are examples of everything EPS stands for. In her short time with the district, Nikki has already made a huge impact on our students by helping provide them with the tools for future success after they leave our schools.
