Star Student Caroline Bolt
Highland School of
Technology Star Teacher
Martha Maxwell “always has
a piece of advice to give …
and she is always ready to
proofread a college essay.”
That means a lot to Star
Student Caroline Bolt. As her
English teacher and volleyball
coach, Mrs. Maxwell “takes
a personal interest in her
students and really cares about
what is going on in their lives.”
Star Student Taylor Wilson
A note of encouragement
from Hunter Huss High School
Star Teacher Sara Dodson
goes a long way to help
Star Student Taylor Wilson
with her stress level. Mrs.
Dodson’s dedication to her
students helps, too, as well as
her “good leadership, self-
confidence, and the ambition
to impact others by her great
example.”
Star Student Melanie Beam
South Point High School
Star Teacher Timothy Hamilton
encourages his band students
to dream, which is his most
admirable quality, says Star
Student Melanie Beam. “I have
grown to know Mr. Hamilton
as a knowledgeable, caring,
tough-loving, and passionate
person. Unknowingly, he
transfers these qualities into
his students.”
Star Student Kinlee Pruitt
A warm smile is what
North Gaston High School Star
Student Kinlee Pruitt needed
on her first day of high
school. She found it along
with “gentle guidance” and
a “bubbly personality” in her
Star Teacher Jennifer Reed,
who “calmed us all and gave
us the confidence needed to
continue our day.” Now, four
years later, Kinlee has found a
“true mentor” in Mrs. Reed.
