High School Honoree – HS Door Greeters (AJ Murphy, Caleb Walley, Abel Pate, Jordan Carter)
These amazing high school young men are spending most mornings greeting student and staff coming through the doors into school. “Good Morning," with a fist bump -- and sometimes added music -- these wonderful young men are making connections with and for members of our U-School family. Their actions have created a great vibe of school unity and show a unique leadership moment that they took upon themselves. These small acts of kindness are a credit to the University High school spirit. They are breaking barriers and making the morning transition into school go a little easier for students and staff.
