#SCSCelebrates | Today we celebrate #NationalITProfessionalsDay! We are fortunate to have the best of the best here in Surry County County Schools! 💻
This team completes a lot of visible and behind-the-scenes work to ensure that students and staff can efficiently use technology during the school day. They are ready to jump in and help however they can whenever technical difficulties arise. Technology constantly changes, and our IT professionals stay informed of trends and tools to serve our students, staff, and families well!
Happy IT Professionals Day to Tim Hippert, Jeremy Stoker, Jim Harvish, Jackson Lindsay, Michael Pinckney, Sebrena O'Dell, Chet Luffman, Anthony Casey, and Melissa Spurlin!🎉
We also would like to give a shoutout and well-deserved recognition to Chief Technology Officer Lucas Gillispie for all of his hard work and dedication to our district’s technology oversight and implementation.
