Andrews High Alum Gives Back and Earns Employee of the Month Honors

You might call Cathy Bakoulas an Andrews High expert. For more than 20 years, the office support professional has quietly and calmly kept things moving smoothly. But Andrews High is more than just where she works; it’s where she graduated from high school in 1975. It’s also where her children went to school. With so many personal ties to the school, Bakoulas makes it her priority to do whatever it takes to get the job done and done well.

Many nominations were submitted on Bakoulas’ behalf, but they all used the same words to describe her: calm, kind, knowledgeable, unflappable, friendly and positive. No matter what is going on at the time, Bakoulas gives each caller and visitor her kind attention. According to Andrews High Principal Monique Wallace, Bakoulas never meets a stranger.

The faculty and staff at Andrews High recognize the important role that Bakoulas plays in daily operations. “Mrs. Bakoulas exemplifies and exceeds the true meaning of what Guilford County School employees represent,” Wallace said. In recognition of Bakoulas’ exceptional work and dedication, she was selected as the November GCS Employee of the Month.
As Employee of the Month, Bakoulas received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has partnered with GCS to support the employee recognition program.

During the month of November, her 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 her at its November 8 meeting.
