HAMLET — Two Richmond County Schools’ employees were honored for excellence Tuesday during the Board of Education’s monthly meeting.
Roscoe McDonald has been with the Richmond County Schools’ Maintenance Department for more than 27 years. He began as a school painter, and through hard work and dedication now serves in the leadership role as a crew supervisor.
According to his director, Glenn Sims, “Roscoe tackles any task with a smile and is always willing to help others. Plus, he’s quick to exhibit a positive attitude and great work ethic.”
McDonald often completes projects before Sims even has the chance to ask him. He takes pride in his work and continuously sets the bar high.
Since joining the Richmond County School’s Maintenance Department as its officer manager, Melinda Hefferan has created and implemented many new software platforms. These newly developed forms, spreadsheets and programs have made the department more effective and efficient.
“Her creative and outside-the-box thinking has aided the tracking of supplies and labor, thus reducing spending while improving the quality of products purchased,” said Sims.
He also commended Hefferan’s perfect customer service, adding that regardless of whether she’s speaking with someone on the phone or in person, she always has a smile on her face.
