Cindy Kernodle says she’s “just office support,” but to many, the support she provides is invaluable. She supervises the Eugene front desk, which handles hundreds of calls per day, while maintaining order within the department and fielding calls from district staff, parents and community members in need of information on how to navigate the large school district. Detailed and thorough, Kernodle helps plan events, manages department purchasing, and lends her calm voice of reason to crisis situations. She comes in early, leaves late and is always available to help, and for those reasons, Kernodle was selected as the September Employee of the Month. 

As Guilford County Schools’ Employee of the Month, Kernodle received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, who has partnered with GCS to execute the employee recognition program. Kernodle’s photo will hang on a plaque at the district’s central offices and at Sam’s Club on Wendover Avenue. Watch for the Employee of the Month on GCSTV2!
