Following last year’s devastating fire at Eastern Guilford High, faculty and staff worked all hours of the day and night to get students back in class. Randall Hackett faced an equally daunting task of figuring out a way to keep the athletic program running with students split on two separate campuses and conflicting class schedules. Not only did he face the challenge of finding transportation for the students, but he also had to schedule practices and games around the students’ unique class schedules.
According to Assistant Principal Leigh Hebbard, who nominated Hackett: “With our school being separated, athletics has been the one common thread that has provided the Wildcat family many opportunities to see one another. Mr. Hackett is a credit to the school and community for all he has done to keep the athletic program fully operational during this stressful time for all of us.”
Because of his overwhelming Wildcat pride and his mission to find a way to keep students on the court and field, Hackett was selected as the May GCS Employee of the Month.
As Employee of the Month, Hackett received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has partnered with GCS to support the employee recognition program. During the month of May, his photo will hang at all GCS main offices as well as the Wendover Avenue Sam’s Club. In addition, the Guilford County Board of Education will recognize him at its May 8 meeting.
