You Make the Difference

The You Make the Difference Award is sponsored by Gary and Donnie Hicks of Tiffany’s Restaurant.  As the title of this award reads, it is given to somebody that puts forth that extra effort to MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. At Noble Public Schools, we have several that meet that criterion, and it was difficult to narrow it down to just two people.  This award can go to a teacher, support personnel, administrator, or a volunteer.

• Mrs. Jerri Turner, Tier II Paraprofessional at Curtis Inge Middle School

• Mrs. Rachel Tener, Administrative Assistant to Athletics

 Above and Beyond – Support Person of the Year

 The Above and Beyond Award is given to our Support People of the Year.  This award is selected from nominations from our employees. As the title of this award reads…it is given to somebody that puts for that extra effort to go above and beyond daily.

• Kenny Ramsey, Noble Public Schools Maintenance

• Ms. April Jennings, Noble Public Schools Transportation Dispatcher
