Today, we had the privilege of celebrating an extraordinary group of Hickory City Schools retirees whose dedication, compassion, and service have made a lasting impact on generations of students.

Together, these retirees have contributed 151 years of service to Hickory City Schools and an incredible 236 years to public education in North Carolina. Their legacy can be found in the lives they touched, the relationships they built, and the countless students they inspired along the way.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our schools, our students, and our community. Congratulations on your well-deserved retirementβ€”you will always be part of the HCS family!

Today, we had the honor of surprising Paige Walker alongside Hickory City Schools staff, Catawba County Emergency Services personnel, and a representative from Horton & Mendez, Attorneys at Law, PLLC, with some exciting newsβ€”she has been named the Second Place Winner in the statewide Best of NC Heroes 2026 Contest!

Paige received the second-highest number of votes among more than 800 votes cast across 30 North Carolina counties. The contest, created by Horton & Mendez Cares, recognizes everyday heroes who make a meaningful impact in their communities.

As a CTE teacher at Hickory Career and Arts Magnet High School and a dedicated paramedic with Catawba County EMS, Paige exemplifies what it means to serve others. Her commitment to educating future healthcare professionals while continuing to care for our community through EMS has inspired countless students, colleagues, patients, and community members.
