Gloria Hunter Joins Decatur City Schools Foundation Team


“Twitterpated” is how Gloria Hunter describes herself on the first day of her new job as Communications Assistant for Decatur City Schools Foundation. It’s a good thing, too, because she’ll be handling a good bit of Twitter as well as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other social media outlets such as blogging and writing press releases. Using these tools, Gloria’s goal is to share stories of success with followers who support our City Schools.

“My main priority here at the Foundation is to not only tell our community how awesome the Foundation is for making a difference for students, but also to share how awesome our supporters are for making it all possible!”

Gloria began May 16, 2017 and is excited to see how she can begin making a difference right away. Her first job is creating a master communications plan to strategize across departments both within the Foundation and Decatur City Schools.

All of that sounds pretty fun right? But her favorite part? “The variety,” she says. “Every day I’ll be doing something brand new—meeting new people, exploring new social media outlets, strategizing for new campaigns—every day more exciting than the last.”

Gloria graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in Professional Writing, and is happy to contribute strong skills in copyediting, webpage copywriting, social media management, and creative writing to a workplace she believes in.

“The Foundation is just the type of organization I am excited to throw my weight into and push toward improvement. I believe in what we’re accomplishing for our students, our community, and our Decatur.”

But there’s just one thing everyone should know about Gloria. She is a dauntless leader for change, and sees the influence of the Foundation within Decatur as a powerful driving force.

“One day, people will be looking at us for inspiration on how to bind schools and communities together. We can be the leaders.”
