At Taylor County Schools, expecting greatness is more than a goal. It's part of who we are. Every day, we see our teachers and staff going above and beyond to make a positive impact, and their efforts do not go unnoticed.
To recognize those individuals who consistently embody dedication, service, leadership, pride, and compassion, we are proud to introduce the Heart of the Cardinal Award. Each month, we will celebrate those who exemplify the heart of our district through their commitment to others and their unwavering pursuit of greatness!
We are honored to recognize our first Heart of the Cardinal winners! โค๏ธ

Here are just a few comments shared by her peers and coworkers:
๐ซถ๐ผ Amanda has worked tirelessly to ensure that our students and staff came back to a school that was clean and something to be PROUD of!
๐ซถ๐ผ She came in on the weekends and waxed/stripped/prepped to stay ahead of the wax schedule so that teachers could get into their rooms before our PD days began.
๐ซถ๐ผ She makes a difference and deserve many jewels in her crown!
๐ซถ๐ผ Amanda gives 150% every day!! Most days she stays way after her contracted hours to make sure our building is to HER standards.
๐ซถ๐ผ Amanda takes great pride in her job and it truly shows!!!
