Vote for our Hidden Heroes nominee, Mrs. Courtney Thompson by clicking here and typing her name. You can vote for free daily.
Mrs. Thompson was nominated because she truly makes our school and community a better place. Although she joined the Odom team only two years ago, she has quickly made a lasting impact and has won the hearts of both students and teachers. One of her first contributions was remodeling the library to make it more colorful, welcoming, and engaging for students. She continuously encourages a love for reading through various incentives that our students absolutely enjoy. It’s clear that students love visiting the library and spending time with her; you can often see them stop by to say good morning as they head to class. Mrs. Thompson was recently recognized for contributing to a schoolwide increase in Lexile scores and received the Teach Like a Packer award, a well-deserved honor. She is the true definition of a team player. From helping with fundraising efforts for the United Way to organizing and supporting Halloween pumpkin contests, baby showers, bridal showers, and retirement celebrations in the media center, she always steps up with a smile. In addition to her many contributions, she also serves on the leadership team and the local school governance team, playing a key role in shaping our school’s direction. She is the true definition of a hidden hero.
