Every year, the teachers and staff of FHN vote on who they believe deserves the title of “Teacher of the Year” and “Support Staffer of the Year.” Out of many nominations, it was decided that FHN’s teacher of the year is Sara White, and the support staffer of the year is Dana Button. Button is a Main Office Administrative Assistant at North. A typical day for Button involves calling students to the office, facilitating staff meetings, working with homebound students and writing discipline notices.
“The thing that I love about being here is the variety of people I get to work with,” Button said. “I love the students, but I also love the people in the office that I get to work with. There are some really fantastic people here at North that care about students and care about education, and I enjoy the role I can play in that to help some of those things happen.”
